Feeling Blue was shown at Gavin Dobson's Broadway Market pop-up gallery — one of several exhibition contexts beyond the studio where his originals have been seen and acquired. The colour in the title is both literal and figurative, which is characteristic of his approach to painting titles: the emotional state and the visual quality of the work occupying the same word.
Dobson's originals are oil on canvas, worked directly without a predetermined image — the painting evolves on the surface as he applies the paint, the figure and the emotional content arriving together rather than one preceding the other. Bold and emotive, framed in a white tray frame, ready to hang. Signed. £450.
