ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece was made using Golden acrylics and silicone painting tools on Di-bond (which is a smooth sheet of aluminium attached to a PVC core making a very stable substrate). These paints create bright jewel-like colours and through transparent glazing and lifting out, a mysterious quality of depth and space comes about. I made the piece through building various layers of colour and working into these whilst still wet to capture a spontaneous uplifting energy. The piece is framed in a white contemporary frame and can be hung anywhere in the home. The size of the frame is 33.5 x 33.5 x 5 cm. This piece was selected by Nicole Farhi for the ING Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries in 2015.

Delivery Time:

In my practice I work primarily as an abstract artist, exploring pure colour and form, the substance of paint and ground, and the tensions between the physical processes of making and the ‘life’ in the piece. I create paintings with presence, paintings which have atmosphere and countenance. For the last few years I have been working in a beautiful light filled studio in Sussex, England exploring tools and processes which disguise the hand. I have found a greater freedom through this limitation and its challenges. I explore light and darkness and pure colour journeys, working with transparency and glazing to create vibrant surfaces. My paintings were selected for the Royal Watercolour Society's Open in 2024 and for the ING Discerning Eye exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London in 2015, 2016 & 2021. In 2017 my work was selected for the prestigious Creekside Open & the National Open Art Competition.
