About The Artwork

King and Queen No.1 While working on my chess set “Game of the 20th century" I thought of many variations of design. The King for example is sometimes in uniform, and sometimes not.(The Kaiser changed uniform many times a day I have read). But always in immaculate, Savile Row quality and style. "Clothes make the man” it is said. Money helps with that. His Queen of course is in stylish, fashionable couture. I’m offering pairs of King and Queen in 3 separate lots. The maximum height is 17 cm. They have been dotted around my house and studio for some time.I think they are quite imposing little characters. Or should that be caricatures? Hope you like them. (Note: only the white king and queen are included in the price)

Apart from a few works in exhibitions most of my time since art school has been in a commercial world. Now living in France I like to make ceramic pieces on a variety of themes.The catastrophe of war or the tragedy of natural disaster for example. The drama of dreams when the mind sorts our life experience into an altogether new tapestry, is another. One beyond the control of the artists hand or eye. I grew up in post war London and try to understand why bomb sites, now gherkins and other weird and wonderful constructions, now surround St. Pauls and the city, Here is where the Luftwaffe dropped their deadly cargo. Now I learn our bombers wrought ten times the destruction on Germany, and Churchill had ordered that St. Pauls should be saved from incendiary bombs with priority over homes. St. Pauls was a symbol of our invincibility. I remember approaching St. Pauls from Fleet Street, bomb sites all around and a railway running overhead. Very strange.
