My latest works feature natural objects − in this case things like stones, a feather and a shell − placed within an overall abstract design. I usually choose natural objects that are imperfect, weathered, scarred or soon to decay: things that aren't stereotypically 'pretty'. We don't usually give such things a second glance, but they often contain their own hidden beauty. I began this work by establishing a balance of shapes and tones. Then I started deleting areas and bringing out or adding more identifiable things. I used negative space to reinforce the design and keep the eye moving around the composition. These works take much longer to paint than my earlier series due to the processes and the detail required. The work is also painted on the sides, it uses only artist’s quality lightfast colours and it's protected with two-coats of acrylic spray varnish. *The painting is shipped in a tube for ease of transport, to be re-stretched locally.* Copyright Alexander Raynham © 2020.

Turkey
I am an artist and writer with paintings in private and corporate collections in Turkey, the UK, the United States, Canada and Australia. I live in Adana, Turkey. I am a member of both local and national jury-selected artists' associations and often participate in Turkish-government sponsored exhibitions in other countries. I paint in both figurative and abstract styles, but most recently my interest has been in capturing the kind of details in nature that you would usually pass by without a second glance: things like weathered rocks, broken branches and dying leaves. The idea behind this 'Vanitas' series is perhaps that the value and beauty of the ordinary things in nature lies in their impermanence. Many of my works are built up of multiple layers over a long period of time − using a variety of techniques and tools. Layers of paint are poured, glazed, scratched, and rubbed away until the desired effect is achieved. Each exhibition I take part in brings me into contact with many artists and art lovers, whose feedback and reactions to my work I find invaluable. I continue to develop new techniques and explore new approaches in order to develop my personal response to the world around me.
