"The River (can Mr. Atomic save the sullen twins from the rising waters of climate change)" Fine Art Print

Arrived 1950 Caterham, Surrey. My most embarrassing moment was being caught shoplifting a bracelet from Woolworth's when I was 12. I wish it had been a more expensive item from a decent jewelers. My biggest regret is not taking more chances in life. I have been using Photoshop as part of my process since the 90’s. A rough collage is created and this is used as the reference for drawing the work onto canvas. I work with acrylics in the early stages to speed up the painting process, they often produce accidents and challenges I incorporate into the final work. The freedom and loose quality of this keeps the painting immediate. Realistically painted areas contrast and create tension with bold brushstrokes and graphic elements. I work in series, exploring themes like the North Norfolk landscape, autoimmune liver disease, mythology and Jenny Holzer’s truisms.
