The apartment is a familiar image in my work - it features in a number of them with variations in situation. The clock invariably reads 5 past 4 in my paintings and if it does not it will read 7.25. In this case the clock is on the floor and is broken - the woman sits on the bed and the man stares out of the window at the panoramic view. Time has moved on for these 2 lovers and brought about changes which neither can fully fathom - but both realise that it has altered their relationship. The high rise buildings in the distance, through which the sun is shining, form a Stonehenge type of structure: the moment is seminal; its personal significance is profound and the change it effects is enduring. This is a personal Solstice.
About Mark Maguire
I was born in Liverpool and was educated at the University of Manchester, Swansea University and the Polytechnic of Wales where I studied History, Philosophy and Intellectual and Art History (MA). I have lived and worked in Ireland, Germany, Holland and the UK as a barman, labourer, soldier, Aircraft sealer, Trade Marks Examiner, Ministerial Policy Adviser in Trade & Industry (London), Head of International Relations at the Welsh Office and Principal Private Secretary to the Presiding Officer at the National Assembly for Wales.
I left the Civil Service in 2005 and dedicated myself to art and writing. My large, vibrant and luminous paintings are metaphysical in approach and, as with my writing, personal and intense. They frequently convey contemporary urban realism in a ruined, isolated or detached landscape. The figures in them are always captive watchers of their environment or circumstances, trapped by their inability to communicate. I call these works "narrative" because what is important in the paintings is what happens before or after the moment depicted - the viewer must move beyond the canvas to ascertain this. My smaller paintings are "etudes", conceived as intimate studies of the mood and condition of individuals. They are almost always painted in blue.
