Painter. Pourer of enamel and gloss paint. Tilter of canvases. DM for enquiries.

Finally finished this painting, although I haven’t got a title yet. It’s all about weight, pressure, constraint and gravity

Pouring paint which has a mind of its own! Canvas is much more forgiving but this surface is board which has no give, so is slipping right off. At least I get to enjoy it on the table 🤣

Here’s a new painting called Isolated. A reflection of the times we’re in. I’ve been working on it for a long time and it has masses of gloss and enamel paint contained within it. The subject may look like it’s painted on a flat ground, but it’s actually built up of many layers and the background is painted last to edit out distractions. Size is 40cm x 40cm and weight is over 3kg! Swipe for a side view and a close up

I’ve been thinking a lot lately and taking the time to try and sum up what my work is about in as few words as possible. One important word is containment. Containment of emotions, contradictions and tensions through the containment of paint. Now back to painting...

Lots going on in the studio at the moment. Paintings at varying stages of completion. Negotiating the tricky business of standing them up gradually to avoid total collapse!

I’m enjoying the beautiful winter light today that’s casting strong shadows in the studio. The warmth is helping to dry lots of paintskins basking in the sunshine. Occasionally these little paintskins resemble a finished face but mostly I cut and collage to create characters with varying degrees of attitude

Really pleased to have two paintings included in Thrown’s Winter exhibition. The two works called Cavernous and Turbulence are in response to the huge uncertainty, anxiety and unease in the world. Due to Covid the show is online, it has just opened will run until 24.01.21.
Thanks for the opportunity @throwncontemporary www.throwncontemporary.co.uk
