Original painting acrylic on paper, 2016. Chris Gollon enjoyed painting on Khadi paper, an acid-free Indian cotton-rag paper, for the great texture it gave and the way it absorbed acrylic paint, making the imagery very immediate.

This work is from a series of small paintings on Khadi paper, which Chris Gollon painted in early 2016. as the artist notes: "This new set of small heads is painted on Khadi paper. From the first, I remembered how beautiful the texture is. Less is more is the motive here. One must let the paper do most of the work. The result makes them very alive."
