Roche 7. Painting

British artist based in France. I’m an oil painter artist that reflectively analyses and displays natural elements, highlighting the observed extents, differences and less distinguishable. My paintings are images of natural components, with considerations of the unseen, the innate and the acquired. Certain qualities attract me to paint an image and this combined with my sensibilities and my own preference to withdraw from some of the customary, initiates my art. I produce both large canvases and comparatively smaller ones, depending on what the image necessitates. I paint and simultaneously evaluate an image, analysing and displaying reactions and consequences, which often result in visually concentrated representations, in either a raw or a more refined manner. Reflecting on my art as it has evolved, I recognise some inextricably linked underlying themes. Studying prime and definitive states, experiencing exclusion and reward, musing on the emotional and spiritual and an exploration into the unable to grasp and wordless, often became inadvertently cross-referenced. My art is a culmination of considerations, sensitivities and chain of scenarios and I hope my images capture and convey an air of relative sensation that has become an important experience for me. A number of my paintings have been sold to private collectors internationally and having lived in London for many years I now live in France.
