My fine art paper reproductions are printed using Canon Lucia EX pigment inks.

My canvas reproductions use the same quality Canon Lucia inks printed on 400 gsm Sihil Masterclass Cotton Poly Blend Canvas made, in Switzerland, by world-renown manufacturers. The canvas is spray coated with two coats of UV inhibiting, protective laminate ensuring a lifespan, under normal condition, of over 100 years. The same care and diligence is taken with the packaging of each Limited Edition print to ensure safe arrival at its destination. ABOUT THIS PAINTING I’ve long admired the work of Laurence Alma-Tadema (1836 -1912). The most successful classical artist of his time. He was born in the Netherlands, lived and painted in London and chose the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire as his predominant subject matter. He was an absolute master. So, this work heralds a change in direction and a departure in theme and subject matter from previous canvases with the influence of Alma- Tadema alongside the ancient temples and artefacts found at Karnak, Egypt. Karnak - known as lpet-isu - or ‘most select of places’ was actually a city of temples built from around 2055 BC to100 AD. At its zenith, it would have been awe-inspiring, though I have depicted it in disrepair, as it is today. I spent Christmas 2001in Luxor, Egypt, and visited Karnak where I too was equally awe-inspired. Now, years later, I’ve revisited that experience. It’s at the core and the inspiration for this painting. Its title ‘The Sins of The Father...’ is drawn from biblical and Shakespearian text which in its full version is - ‘The Sins Of The Father Are Visited Upon Their Children’. The work centres on three principal characters - a father, his daughter and some other-worldly entity. Their story unfolds amongst the ancient surroundings of 11th century Egypt. Or is it perhaps some parallel universe? My intention, however, has never been the creation of a vaguely, contemporary work of science fiction but rather a work of fictional realism. Science fiction or fictional realism? I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about ‘The Sins of The Father...’ and what has or is about to happen.
