Abstract Gestural Painting

These are my abstract gestural paintings on canvas. I work mainly with acrylic paint on canvas, often applying thick layers of paint with brushes of varying sizes. I work quickly and spontaneously using a wet-on-wet technique. The exploration of gesture, abstraction and the sometimes incidental is important in my work. I enjoy experimenting with a range of different colours, sometimes using fluorescent paint. The paintings can often resemble natural phenomena, such as agate, geodes, marble or even sliced flesh.
