A novelised exploration of twentieth-century painting, following a young man as he writes a creative account of the successive epochs from Cubism, through Fauvism, Dada, the De Stijl, and on to action painting and Postmodernism. Melancholy and delightful, romantic and spare, Oil on Canvas examines the relationship between the painted picture and the written word.

Melancholy and delightful, romantic and spare, Oil on Canvas examines the relationship between the painted picture and the written word. Both an art history and a love story, it explores the pleasures of literature and art, the themes of mortality, sensuality, eroticism, creativity and infidelity, and, ultimately, attempts to catch the frail and elusive nature of love by unfurling the complexities of passion and desire.

Part satire of the bourgeois intelligentsia, part dissertation on the artistic process, Unwritten is a story of friendship, love and the role of art in the human world. Examining the manner in which passion and love respectively influence our lives, the insistence of mortality as a creative drive, and the effects of alcoholism and depression, Unwritten and its characters look for that which is absolute, meaningful, and of value in human life.
