June Stratton combines photorealism and reductive tonalism to create kinetic portraits. Although often figurative, they are not portraits in the traditional sense, 'I am trying to capture an essence of movement that uniquely defines a subject. I admire painters such as Gerhard Richter and Francis Bacon for their immensely skillful figurative representations. I am also, inspired by the narrative, lighting and compositional examples in the films of directors such as David Lynch and Sam Mendes.'
