About The Artwork
Medium: Oil on Canvas 120 x 100 cmYear Created: 2010 Mindful of the “Death of Painting” my version of the G F Watts 1186 Minotaur is an attempt to raise the dead soul of the original and comment on one of the manifestations of society’s obsession with celebrity and the doyen of mass media, the television Talk Show Host. The brushwork is vigorous and the paint thin allowing the image to glow, giving a sensuous materiality that can only be simulated by the flickering screen.

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.
