About The Artwork
Black Dog was selected for the 2005 Celeste Painting Prize Medium: Oil on Canvas 100 x 80 cmYear Created: 2005 Description: In "Black Dog" I am trying to render visible a force that is invisible and draw the viewer into the painting to experience that force. The colour of the ground is sickly and unreal, suggesting that we are dealing with a portent of death in the imaginary. Yet the black dog is no dream. Without collar, no owner in sight, he has advanced a few yards and is watching you, breathing your scent, oblivious to the respect owed by dogs to humans founded on generations of loyalty to their masters. Will you stand your ground or run?

United Kingdom
Born in the UK in Manchester- now working from my Studio in St Ives. My oil paintings explore aspects of MELANCHOLIA using traditional methods of oil paint on canvas and on wooden panels. I work initially from pen and ink drawings that combine elements of my own figurative drawing with my photographs and found images. Working directly onto the support with oil glazes, I use these subverted images as the basis for a loose and immediate style of painting. Consequently the oil paintings have a freshness of execution despite the melancholic themes.
