Detail of collage artwork.
Title and artist's signature on reverse.
This artwork, a collage, (the 33rd in my expanding dedicated series loosely based on the fortification designs of Vauban) uses old sheets of music coloured with red, yellow and blue acrylic paints, which were then cut at angles and applied in a random interwoven design to a pre-collaged (with two pages of music scores of “Cinq Mazurkas” by Chopin) on an A1-size (84 x 59.4 cm) sheet of Canson ‘Imagine’ art paper . These applied angles have been deliberately chaotically applied to create an artwork representing traditional Polish folk dances with lively tempos (and with “strong accents unsystematically placed on the second or third beat” (according to Wikiwand)… hence the “Cinq Mazurkas” title.



All my recent artworks using painted or applied elements of carefully drawn angles originally based on the works of Maréchal Vauban, or Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707), who is considered one the of the greatest military engineers of all time. In his life he was responsible for the fortification of over 160 places in France… but his major contribution to warfare was his methods of attack, which revolutionised siege warfare. However, the shapes and angles of his defensive walls surrounding many French towns and seaports have influenced the design of my more recent artworks.

Abstract artist... stock photographer... writer... plant-based... fixie-cyclist... minimalist... and easy going, I studied Interior Design at art college in the 1960s, then worked in the TV and film industry for more than a decade, before turning to photography full-time. Later I published and edited specialist photographic magazines on darkroom techniques for several years and continue to supply digital images to the world's largest photo agency from my current location here in France. However, in a hard working retirement I spend much more time and energy as an abstract fine artist working with all media from old-fashioned paper, pencil and paint to creative collage and canvas.
