About The Artwork

Oil On Board A powerful oil painting capturing the enigma of an inner-city greyscale townscape. The canvas echoes with a profound stillness, leaving the viewer to ponder the mysteries held within the urban landscape. The city streets, devoid of the usual hustle and bustle, stretch out like a deserted labyrinth. Buildings stand like sentinels, their facades weathered by time and neglect. The absence of people creates an eerie emptiness, a stark departure from the vibrant life that typically inhabits these urban spaces. I rendered desolation in every brushstroke, suggesting a narrative that unfolds beyond the edges of the frame. The title, "In the Morning," hints at a transformation that occurred under the veil of night. Shadows cast by the muted tones that suggest a city that has witnessed a quiet metamorphosis, a collective retreat into the night's mysteries. Perhaps the city is awakening from a night of introspection, a collective pause before the hustle resumes. Or, alternatively, the scene captures a city still slumbering, recovering from the nocturnal activities that unfolded in its hidden corners. As you contemplate the canvas, questions linger in the air. What transpired in the darkness of the night before? Did the city's denizens seek solace in the anonymity of the night, or is this a moment of collective introspection before the urban symphony recommences? "In the Morning" becomes more than a mere depiction of a cityscape; it transforms into a visual poetry of urban life, leaving the observer to weave their own narrative into the quietude of the painted city.

As an artist I explore the changes in life and our environment. Born and raised on the same London Street in Bankside, I have devoted my career to honouring these changes I have witnessed over the past 50 years. I strive to express the passage of life, from one moment to the next, and to confront how mortality impacts us all. Through the use of bold colours and textured shapes, my art aims to capture the nostalgia of memories for my friends and family who have passed on. I seek to convey the sense of existence between then and now, what if tonight it all stopped. My works evoke a sense of melancholy and change to come. As a child growing up in 1970s London, I was drawn to the power of artistic expression, particularly in the medium of painting with oils. I have embraced a number of influences as diverse as John Piper, Maurice Utrillo, and John Burningham. My mindful paintings aim to capture the darker grandiose beauty of derelict Victorian warehouses, markets and the riverfront, while also displaying my deep love for and connection to the place I have called home since childhood. With a lifetime of powerful memories I strive to join the past, the now, the what's to come into my work. Blessed with three small children with my childhood sweetheart, I paint not just for myself but also for them. I want to leave a record of the unique energy of Bankside for a broader audience and my children.
