"Agonalia" New work for 2018, returning to brushwork and gestural action painting creating figurative forms. Artwork is 24"x36" on stretched canvas, titled and signed on the back and was done using a combination of acrylic and oil stick, which creates added texture to the painting. “Agonalia” 2018, (24x36): Janus was a Roman god with two heads — one looking in the past and the other looking towards the future. He was considered the guardian of beginnings and endings. It’s where “January” comes from. Janus’ feast day was 9 January and the Romans celebrated a festival known as Agonalia Ianuarias. This painting was the first completed of the year and I began it on 9 January. This painting symbolises for me the exploration of a new style, more organic in creation and the depiction of the subconscious developing to the forefront of the conscious.

When it comes to my art, I can’t tell you how to look at it. All I can tell you is that each painting is an extension of myself as they are autobiographical in nature. I am not trying to make any particular statement with my work -- I am just existing in the here and now. I believe that something inside of you is always telling a story and art is the way to service the subconscious; to make something physically come into being that is inspired by emotions or needs. I don’t know what painting teaches me. I just know that it frees me – free from the future, free from the past, free from regret, and free from worry. I have always enjoyed all things behind-the-scenes in any artistic genre be it film, sculpture, theatre, painting. The journey one takes as they explore the creative process has always fascinated me; starting out with an idea and through the trials and errors along with the unexpected twists and turns that occur to ultimately arrive at what becomes the final product. I have discovered that through this process, my painting starts to take on a life of its own and tells me what it wants to be. That is where the titles, if the painting has one, come from – that symbiotic relationship between the art and artist and ultimately the viewer and the journey to get here.
