Back by 4

'Back by 4' is part of the Small Volumes series comprising of miniature diptychs painted on stretched and primed linen. The right hand panel of each diptych uses oil paint to depict a representational detail or aspect of the artists' studio. The left hand panels are painted with acrylic and are based on post it/ memos or doodles. Both sides of each Small Volumes painting relates in some way to the everyday working lives of Tumim and Prendergast. Contrast in both style and content are at the heart of these works.
