  4. Rorris captures light and shade like a baroque master. When I look at his work I feel a sense of near-total immersion. I can feel the sticky heat of an Mediterranean summer night, smell the corporeal odours of flesh and dampened stone. The consistency with which he records the organic and inanimate elements is astounding, there is no hierarchy of subject matter. He paints the corner of a room with similar intensity as if he were painting all or parts of the human body. The results make these works ooze sensuality without overly relying on the usual visual triggers. Rorris can make a crumpled bed sheet appear like we're witness to the aftermath of a forbidden tryst. The rooms that these bodies inhabit are almost womb-like, his use of perspective draws the viewer in to an intimate setting, the figures often dwarfed by the scale of the rooms. A rare achievement is in his treatment of the nude female figure, a problematic subject in these overly-mediated times. They are empowered figures, not mere staffage or decoration, he intimates this by emphasising the medium (oil paint) over the subject, exchanging detail for sensation. The result of this exchange is that I am both viewer and voyeur when I look at these works (and I have only ever seen them online). Rorris's key achievement is not just in how he addresses the subject matter, he is also a master of atmosphere, the shadows of his living subjects have metaphysical qualities in that they seem to want to posess the source of their existance. Darkness to light to darkness to light ad infinitum.
    I intend to travel to see these works in the flesh when the next opportunity arises.
    Painting is alive and breathing thanks to a living master, George Rorris.
