Small Square Organic

Abstract.This is a multi-layered technique and a wasteful way of painting but to good effect. It consists of an overall 3 tone underwash, then swathes of straight from the tube oils are applied then wiped away in a circular motion, time and time again until the structure forms and a shape is seen in depth, then a couple more half tubes of paint are applied leving risen Impasto edges and bright and darkness - wonderful. SOLD. Commissions available. ( More to follow )

Living Space

Abstract theme/statement. This large painting looks quite bare upon the face of it - that is intentional, however upon examination and study we find the remnants of a past Society, a living space that has been reclaimed by the elements of Nature which will always re-claim land. It is ethereal, it is a dream, it is but living space in the mind not in reality. 30 x 30 inch Box canvas. Oils

Ergotism

Surreal oil painting based on Ergotism. A collaboration between Andrea Farmer and myself. 30 x 30 cm deep box canvas. Group B.

In a minute

Abstract InternalismAn original oil on 24 x 24 inch Box canvas. This painting is one of a series I did which has been themed as Abstract Internalism. It is a self expressive style of painting where the artist attempts to internailise feelings by the medium of paint. Different to abstract expressionism where the actual action of painting donates the mood of the art in action - this way is the anti-thesis where the mood is none violent, nor overly expressive but the opposite, quiet, reflective, internal - perhaps a mood of peace, solitude. A calm which transferes the mood in a different way, easier on the eye and feel to the observer. Original concept - perhaps?

Highlander

Funky Flesh

Abstract. Funky Flesh 3 x 16 x 20 box canvasses. This triptych is painted in layers over an impasto and uneven surface - not totally but in certain areas - this is done so that the viewer can actually touch the painting in a tactile manner. Part of the funky flesh feel is provided by the viewer both at distance and close in, providing a ceratin intimacy with the image. Hope you like it. Slightly more silkier than Funky Flesh 2 with distinct fingersized impasto underpainting. Oils

Wet Windows Large

AbstractAn original oil painting on 24 x 30 inch Box canvas. This is a larger version of the small Wet Windows Series. A reflection upon a wet window of how industrialisation - building, form, straight lines and control become diffused in the light reflected through a wet window. All that you see is interpretation an abstract of reality. Colours awash heightened, fading altered, the substance and harshness softened changed. It is that with which we observe we change - a Socialogical construct which holds truth through the development of mankind and the technology he uses to change the enviroment.
