A little introduction

I think it's only fitting that I introduce the work which I'm currently working with, so below you for there are some examples of where I am in my practice currently. All of the paintings below and more can be found on my portfolio.


'Ian' - 2010


'Untitled 20' - 2010


'Untitled W' - 2010


The drive and inspiration I have for my work is based around several themes - identity and anonymity coupled with the passage of time and the implication of decay, both of the physical and mental state. I like to imbue a sense of temporality, as its something which we all deal with.

The figures are both framed and locked into isolation by the swathes of colour that surround them, much like our memories which serve to remind us of who we are, and what we've done - we cannot escape them and so they provide us with a mental prison which is of our own making.

Well

I've started this blog in the hopes that it'll provide me and others a view into my art and any inspiration I find.
