Having stayed extensively in Kolkata, India, he refers to people living on the periphery. In the paintings the world shines through a multicoloured curtain. The people depicted seem to be captured in a moment, the social room of which being juxtaposed to the painted scene in a way that is both banal and sublime. There is a disturbing intimacy, suspending the notion of private and public space.</p><p align="right"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/LeeRourke/hw5.jpg" /></p><p align="right"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Maidan </span></p><p align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">1/2005, 100x80cm, </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">arylic on canvas</span></span></p><br /><p align="left"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/LeeRourke/hw2.jpg" /></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Mintu Park</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">3/2006, 100×80cm, acrylic on canvas</span></p><br /><br /><p align="right"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/LeeRourke/Southernavenue.jpg" /></p><p align="right"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Southern Avenue</span></p><p align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;">10/2006, 95×47cm, acrylic on canvas</span></p><br /><p align="left"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/LeeRourke/hw4.jpg" /></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Victoria Memorial</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">9/2006, 80×100cm, acrylic on canvas</span></p><p></p><p align="right"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/LeeRourke/RashbehariAvenue.jpg" /></p><p align="right"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Rashbehari Avenue</span></p><p align="right"><span style="font-size:85%;">4/2006, 85×170cm, acrylic on wood</span></p><br /><p align="left"><img src="http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t37/LeeRourke/Kalighat.jpg" /></p><p align="left"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">Kalighat</span></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">7/2006, 85×170cm, acrylic on canvas</span></p><p align="justify"><a href="http://www.walderdorff.net/wittkopf/wittkopf_bio.htm">Hendrik Wittkopf</a> is a London-based artist.
