Cameron Howe’s abstract expressionist style encapsulates emotion and story-telling into figures.
An emphasis is placed on subconscious creation. Cameron’s abstract figurative creations are an unplanned translation of raw inner emotions onto canvas. Detail is dotted, paint is scored and cut to create depth and texture, which collectively creates a distinctively original, bold and often vibrant aesthetic. Figurative creations come alive through spontaneity of thought and feeling.
