ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Everyone is moving towards their destination, maybe the morning rush or in an airport. The couple in the middle calmly moving the opposite direction, towards us . They have an elegance of gentility, but this could just be because they are in their own bubble of love and oblivious to rushing bustling world around them.Completely content to drift through the crowd.This painting has just won me the 'Grand Prix de la Ville de Béziers' in the 60th Salon International d'Arts Plastiques in Béziers !

I studied contemporary jewellery,then 3-D design in wood ,metals, ceramics, and plastics .However, making images has been an inextricable part of my life from infancy.The excitement of exploring different materials is limitless and by venturing into different perspectives and expressions the resulting images can be suprisingl and fresh. My influences are and have been extremely varied , from painting murals in restaurants and clubs, sign-writing, designing publicity, mirrors and clocks, and photography in Brighton , to, photographing graffiti and making paintings and collages of everyday life in the Languedoc.Here the landscape and architecture are bursting with images waiting to be captured; from vineyards to cathedrals, and the culture is rich in inspiring traditions and celebrations, eagre to be enjoyed and perpetuated. My interest as an artist is to capture the essence of my subject. Sometimes this maybe a feeling or a mood and sometimes a story may unfold. Occasionally the image is simply about the beauty of a line or the energy of colour. A Etudé la Bijouterie Contemporaine à L' Ecole d' Art et Design d' Epsom, puis le Design en 3-D utilisant bois, métal, ceramiques et plastiques à L' Université de Brighton. La creation d' images était, et est, une partie inextricable de ma vie depuis ma petite infance. La soif de l' exploration des techniques et des matériaux differents est illimitée , partir à l' aventure dans le perspectives et les expressions dirrerents donne des images nouvelles, fraîche et suprenantes. Mes influences sont et ont été extremement variee; peignant des fresques dans des restaurants et des boîtes de nuit, des enseigns, dessinant des affiches publicitaire, des miroirs et des horlogues en passant par la photographie à Brighton jusqu'a la prise de vue de graffitis, la peinture et le collage pour illustrer la vie quotidienne dans la Languedoc. Ici le paysage et l' architecture sont eclatants d' images qui,des vignobles aux cathédérales, attendent d' étre captes. La culture est riche de traditions et de festivales avider d'étre célébrés et perpétués. Mon intérét comme artiste peintre est de capter l'essence de mon sujet. Parfois, peut étre, c'est un sentiment, un humour ou une sensation; quelquefois c'est une histoire qui se raconte et , de temps en temps l' image est tout simplement la beauté d' une ligne ou l' energie de la couleur.
