About The Artwork

The Chain of Being series was inspired by my reading David Esterley's 'The Lost Carving'. As a scholar of Plato he is a fascinating read, a conscious artist, striving for mastery... This book led me to Plato and Plotinus' 'Truth, Beauty and Goodness', a long outmoded triad. But the Platonic reverie left me with a sense of longing and of descent, not of feeling but a longing for that grace of perception and clarity of which these masters wrote so eloquently.Hence the blues of 'Chan of Being', which for me always give rise to a feeling of longing and, with the downward, directional pull of the squeegee and brush, the sense of airy, dewy space. I hope viewers will get a sense of space and airiness and feel able to enter into the painting. I chose the medium, composition and minimalist style to strengthen the sense of movement, frontality and depth.

In my practice I work primarily as an abstract artist, exploring pure colour and form, the substance of paint and ground, and the tensions between the physical processes of making and the ‘life’ in the piece. I strive to create paintings with presence, paintings which have atmosphere and countenance. For the last few years I have been working in a beautiful light filled studio in Sussex, England exploring tools and processes which disguise the hand. I have found a greater freedom through this limitation and its challenges. I explore light and darkness and pure colour journeys, working with transparency and glazing to create vibrant surfaces. My paintings were selected for the Royal Watercolour Society's Open in 2024 and for the ING Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London in 2015, 2016 & 2021. In 2017 my work was selected for the prestigious Creekside Open & the National Open Art Competition.
