Artist Statement
'Thrust' is inspired by the figure in movement. With the image initially beginning from life drawing studies, there are movements embedded throughout the image almost as if the forms are about to shift into the next movement at a moment's notice.
At this point in Myers' practice, he began to become interested in landscapes such as the Brecon Beacons near to his Cardiff home, the contours or pathways that are explored within a landscape have begun to appear in this painting.
