current work

‘Man of Sorrow’ series of painting and etching forms part of my Tableaux of Dreams collection of work. It is important to see them in that context rather than an isolated work to appreciate the common themes, in particular the use of symbolism.

 

 

 

 

The Bucket – early memorise awoke a passion in me for myth and mythology, since then stories and symbolism of the ancient world have mingled in my mind to produce a lively and varied personal iconography.

 

 

 

Many an hour has gone by staring longingly at guitars on display in shop windows, dreaming of stardom. It’s one of a series of shop fronts on the home page of my website that provide a link to different sections of my portfolio.

 

 

This print is from the series All that I know, a portfolio of 10 prints that form part of the Tableaux of Dreams collection, a highly individual and deeply personal set of paintings, drawings, and etchings. The works deal with the unreliability of memory and a wish to ‘reimagine’ the past in a way that is better suited to our needs.

Etching, printed and hand tinted by the artist, on Saunders 300gsm paper in a strictly limited edition of 25 prints. Image size 27 x 21cm, Paper size 38 x 28cm, Framed size 57 x 47 x 3cm.

My early years spent in the Middle East awoke a passion for myth and mythology. The influence of the stories and symbolism of the ancient world have mingled in my mind to produce a lively and varied personal iconography.

The Pie and Eel Shop was part of my London heritage, but I was never a big fan. It’s one of a series of shop fronts on the home page of my website that provide a link to different sections of my portfolio.

 

 

When working on more complex images in my ‘Tableaux of Dreams’ series I must let each individual icon be seen in isolation. For this project I’m combining the two icons into one image and that gives me a great deal of freedom to play with colour, tone, and emphasis. The base print is an etching, and the colour is applied as a monoprint, so each artwork is an individual creation.

 

This is a work in three parts – All in my mind, All that I know, and Journey through life. It is a highly individual and deeply personal collection of paintings, drawings and etchings.
