Randall suffuses his creations with poignant moments of reality, wherein the figurative work becomes a vehicle for intense artistic expression, and blurs the lines between art and fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>Randall\u2019s extended period of time in Tokyo sparked his interest in cities and portraiture. This led to Tokyo Portraits, as seen through the eyes of the visiting UK artist. Paintings based upon everyday life in Tokyo, depicting people in trains, shops and streets \u2013 subtle distortions in space and scale often being used to combine the familiar with a slight sense of the unreal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Carl-Randall-Tokyo-SubwayLRG-web.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10060\" alt=\"Carl-Randall---Tokyo-SubwayLRG-web\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Carl-Randall-Tokyo-SubwayLRG-web.gif?resize=580%2C465\" width=\"580\" height=\"465\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Tokyo Subway (2011).

Painted mainly in monotone using a variety of materials (oil on canvas, acrylic on canvas, Japanese ink on Japanese paper), these artworks are a response to urban issues such as overpopulation, isolation, community, and the anonymity of the city dweller.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the Japan works show groups of people occupying the same close public spaces, yet also isolated from one another \u2013 a phenomenon intrinsic to large cities such as Tokyo.
