Broken Promises relates to a painting by Beattie of the same name, and features his characteristic ‘stair’ motif. Senior Academician Beattie describes the image as having ‘psychological and emotional weight’, citing the landmark Abstract Expressionism exhibitions of the late 1950’s as having profoundly influenced him at the time. Printed with oil-based inks (known for their vibrancy) at Advanced Graphics London, Beattie’s limited palette of black, red and grey lends this work strength and impact.
