About The Artwork

This painting was a long time in process, inspired by the abstracts of Gerhard Richter. However, I wished to create a piece which included transparency and colour transitions that the viewer can enter and luxuriate in. It was made in acrylics using squeegees and silicone painting tools throughout. At first I made a mostly grey and yellow abstract composition with different tones and strengths of cool colour. Gradually the warm colours began to assert themselves and I added rich reds. This new strength of texture and colour developed into a clear wave-like quality, This artwork works on different levels: the upper section is more active and contrasting, the middle is almost like a wave of deep, rich reds bringing a falling, opening-out quality and the base area holds and supports these higher movements with contrasting greens, lemon-yellows and greys. The warm reds radiate outwards but are held by the green, blues and yellows, creating a balanced but streaming quality. I would like viewers to experience and feel this balance within themselves as they engage with the artwork. The framed size of the painting is 84.3 x 84.3 x 6 cm

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 strive to 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.
