This dynamic abstract expressionist painting erupts in a blaze of colour, an unrestrained exploration of pure emotional intensity; a visceral interplay of hues—fiery cadmiums clash with deep ultramarines, while streaks of electric magenta carve through the composition with a kinetic urgency. The surface pulses with rhythmic spontaneity, each mark a raw articulation of movement and intuition.

Oh The Morning Glory!

This work engages the emotive potential of chromatic saturation and gestural immediacy to evoke a terrain of sensory intensity. Through the layering of incandescent reds, incandescent oranges, and spontaneous linear disruptions, the composition traces an energetic topography that is at once visceral and ephemeral. The undulating white striations act as both fracture lines and conduits, suggesting movement, resistance, and permeability within a charged field.
The interplay of texture and hue explores notions of vitality, rupture, and transformation—an abstract mapping of internal states rendered through acts of intuitive mark-making. This painting does not offer resolution, but rather inhabits a liminal space between combustion and emergence, inviting the viewer into an ongoing dialogue between surface and depth, impulse and intention.

Incendio

I woke up one morning with the strangest of feelings. A dream that I had woken from was still burning in my mind, but I couldn't remember the details. All I had was images - images that I knew I had to get on canvas as quickly as possible before they disappeared. This abstract work navigates the space between form and feeling, intention and instinct. Vibrant red masses, edged with yellow, suggest presence—bold, pulsing, and alive—while their diffuse boundaries resist confinement. They float within a field marked by gestural lines that drift like currents or quiet signals, forming an ambiguous system of connection. Though non-representational, the composition invites emotional interpretation—perhaps joy, urgency, disquiet, or warmth—leaving space for the viewer to not only share my experience, but to discover their own resonance within the visual rhythm.

Fragments of a Memory

Martin Guinness

Acrylic, 60cm (W) x 75cm (H)

A$450

This large-scale work unfolds as a topography of exploration—both external and internal. Veiled beneath a visceral red ground, the layered forms and sweeping arcs evoke shifting geographies and emotional currents, blurring the boundary between landscape and psyche. The dynamic, ribbon-like lines, punctuated with rhythmic intervals of colour, act as both pathways and disruptions—suggesting routes taken, decisions made, or thoughts that spiral in and out of focus.
Informed by the language of abstract expressionism, the painting resists fixed interpretation, instead offering a field of intuitive navigation. Here, exploration is not merely a destination but an ongoing gesture—of seeking, mapping, and reconfiguring one’s place within the vastness of experience.

A Wedge-Tailed Eagle glides alongside a car on the Stuart Highway in 1986, matching its speed at 90 km/h. For a brief moment, driver and eagle lock eyes before the bird soars skyward, marking the start of a deep lifelong admiration for these majestic creatures.

Watercolour painting of a short-eared owl mid-strike, inspired by Wesley Allen Shaw’s photography. The owl’s mottled brown plumage and speckled torso contrast with its dark wing tips, while earthy ochre tones flow across its feathers. Tracer-like details at the wingtips resemble a delicate shawl, giving the raptor a flame-like appearance in flight.

Painting of a Red Kite, a resilient raptor once near extinction and now thriving after relocation. The artwork captures its unmatched agility, showing the bird’s ability to twist, invert, and change direction mid-flight with fluid, dynamic motion.
