C. Douglas (b.1951) uses lines and abstractions of his figurative metaphors to bring forth his ideas. Using a muddy palette of greys, red, and black, he explores the possibilities of his surfaces, such as crumbled paper, pasting paper on a different surface, or washing the canvas many times. He incorporates shapes and patterns that invoke a sense of rhythm through his brushstrokes and colour values. There is a linear quality in his work as he uses grids and horizontal and vertical lines that help him translate the concept of his work. Most of his works are mixed media, and he uses various techniques to prepare his surface and paints as well.
Douglas has studied at the Government College of Arts and Crafts (1970).
