Artist Recognition

This painting was one of several made after a visit to northern Italy. Along with the devotional nature of Quattrocento painting, I am also drawn to the coexistence of beauty, sensuality and violence in the Baroque works of Caravaggio. My painting is of a peach (nectarine) on crumpled paper on a kitchen top, which offered the opportunity to explore and juxtapose colour, texture, hot and cool, etc. and encourage a wide range of interpretations. For me, the fruit became richer and visceral and the paper cooler and ethereal.

I work in the still life painting tradition from brief, often precarious, arrangements of small, neutral or insignificant subject matter. I use observation, intuition, relationship, scale and metaphor to create a sense of clarity and space and give form to my sensibility. I regard form as concentrated space, process and phenomena and strive to create visual meditations that are layered, poetic and stop time. I draw on my interests outside art for inspiration - mainly music, yoga, meditation and Eastern thought, mainly Tao and Zen. I am particularly drawn to the increasing connections between Buddhist related thought and aspects of contemporary science, particularly physics and neuropsychology. I have also been very influenced by Iain McGilchrist's groundbreaking book "The Master and his Emissary", a Rosetta stone that connects and explains the two brain hemispheres, "the two cultures" and the philosophies of East and West. It reveals much of arts response to 20th/21st century Western society to be in fact, like its subject, Cartesian and dualistic. Please look at my blog for more written thoughts and observations.
