About
Born: London 1964
Since the early 90’s my central preoccupation has been with the figure. My early male nude paintings and self portraits were a cipher for loss. Groups of people in urban environments looked at collective behaviour, the hive mentally of daily routine.
I am interested in both the illusory aspect of painting but also the physicality of the medium. Before my return to figuration I was working in an abstract vein and aspects of formal painting, whether gestural or minimal are still evident in my visual language.
Over the last year I have been working with two central motifs which will culminate in three shows. For Highgate Contemporary Art and The Northcote Gallery I have been working with one of my favourite models Johanna. I want to capture the dynamism and sculptural presence of her body in space and pay homage to Uglow an important early influence on my work.
For Zimmer Stewart Gallery, I have focused on figures in the rain. From a trip to London last year in which the heavens opened (and still seems to be doing so) I have explored the figure within the setting of St Pauls and the multiple reflections of figures in widows and puddles.
