On Finer Examination Painting

My work explores relationships that develop between mark intensities, colour harmonies and surface textures. Things that can’t be explained in words, responses to living, are translated in my own unique visual language. This serves to interpret the gritty complexities that we as humans encounter day-to-day living in this ever connected world. This language provides a portal into my subconscious, in turn offering the viewer an opportunity to access theirs. I leave interpretation open, inviting the viewer to add something of themselves to the experience. This orchestrates a conversation between myself, the surface and viewer. It’s work that informs itself with energy that is spontaneous and direct, placing an emphasis on materiality. Scale, space and the movement of the artist become mediums of their own, equally important in the communication.
