ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In my artist practise I discuss the relationship of abstraction in figurative painting. I use images as a base to produce a painting; I want to explore the balance of abstraction and representation. I am inspired to make paintings of landscapes, urban photographs and films. The images I choose have a recurring theme of colour, composition and architecture. In the application of my paintings I have been inspired by the techniques of the old masters, particularly Rembrandt; Their uses of glazing and scumbling repeatedly until the desired effect. I use these methods in a more abstract way; heavily applied textured paint, vibrant colours and distorting sections. I constantly rework my paintings, creating layers to show a history and a process of how these paintings were made. Painting is filled with conscious and unconscious decisions, in the beginning of the painting process I have ideas and approaches that I want to conceive but through the journey of painting becomes lost. Chance, luck and perseverance all play a part in my work.

I currently study BA Painting at Camberwell, London. My work consists of the process between abstraction and representation in paint. By taking an image and seeing how far I can represent sections contrasting with abstracting others. The process of using the paint is the most important concept for me. From the use of thick textured paint to thin transparent glazes, to then drawing into the canvas with sharp implements. I constantly rework into the canvas, creating layers to show a history and a process of how these paintings were made.
