About The Artwork

"Brain Damage" longlisted for the 2012 John Moores Painting Prize in Liverpool "Brain Damage" shortlisted for the 2010 Celeste Prize in New York "Brain Damage" won the 2010 Towry Heart Of England Prize at The National Open Art Exhibition and was selected for the final round of the john Moore's Painting Prize. The caravan transforms a region of wilderness into landscape whether it is urban or pastoral. It provides a mark of civilisation and passes a comment on our relationship with the environment; it can also represent nostalgia for holidays or weekends away from the urban environment. The Painting “Brain Damage” works on two melancholic levels; a depiction of the metaphor for loss (the caravan) and the process of making the reality of loss artificial by inscribing the idea of the loss in a symbolic space.

Born in the UK in Manchester- now working from my Studio in St Ives. My oil paintings explore aspects of MELANCHOLIA using traditional methods of oil paint on canvas and on wooden panels. I work initially from pen and ink drawings that combine elements of my own figurative drawing with my photographs and found images. Working directly onto the support with oil glazes, I use these subverted images as the basis for a loose and immediate style of painting. Consequently the oil paintings have a freshness of execution despite the melancholic themes.
