PAINTINGS
My painting is an exploration in the society we live in, things that effect me personally or things that effect the world globally. Lets face it, we are all in a state of constant turmoil, each trying to eek out a bit of the world and a space for ourselves. I go through phases where I don’t paint every year but then I will work on 10 at the same time. No painting is ever finished, it may appear to the viewer that this is the case but often I will paint over previous work and thus they are in a total flux. This does not bother me, as a finished painting is a consequence and not the primary occupation of my art.
Like most of my drawings, there is an escape plan off the page and it is very rare that the picture will be fully enclosed or centred with a border around.. I would like to think that these exist within the same world as my drawings and indeed can also join together.
