This artwork is being exhibited and is therefore unavailable for purchase during June 2017. This artwork, a collage, (the 20th in my dedicated series based on the fortification designs of Vauban) uses pieces of paper cut at angles from pre-assembled sheets of Canson ‘Mi-Teintes’ 160 gms paper to make sheets of black/red, red/yellow and black/yellow ‘stripes’ which were applied in a random design to a pre-painted yellow/orange/red 115 x 75 cm stretched canvas. These applied angles have been deliberately chaotically applied to create an artwork which, because of the length of time it took to create and complete with the phrase “The Harder the Battle the Sweeter the Victory” repeatedly entering my thoughts… so that phrase became the title. All my recent artworks using painted or applied elements of carefully drawn angles are loosely based on the works of Maréchal Vauban, or Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1707), who is considered one 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.

France
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.
