Artwork Description

‘Chromatic Fragmentations’ is an abstract expressionist artwork that presents a layered composition of vivid red, coral, teal, green, and black forms. Rich texture and varied mark-making create depth, while slender blue lines and pale geometric shapes guide the eye across the surface. The interplay of saturated color and shadowy silhouettes gives the piece a dynamic, modern presence. It would bring expressive energy and visual interest to a contemporary living space.
This is a forceful acrylic painting built around a collision of colour and shapes that compete across the canvas. I consider its strongest quality is the physical contrast between dense, opaque colour fields and more worked passages where scraping, drips, ridges, and exposed-looking transitions create a sense of accumulated decisions. The painting has the visual charge associated with my interest in colour relationships, but it also introduces a more recognisable suggestion of figures, structures, or passing silhouettes than a purely geometric composition.

Artist Bio

Originally from the UK, then migrating to Australia in 2009, I feel very lucky to live by the beautiful Lake Macquarie in NSW after a recent move from Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Living in Australia inspires a new direction in my work even if I don’t directly portray a particular place on the canvas it is my desire to express the ‘equivalent feeling’ of this patch of earth.

I’m happily self taught as this gives me total freedom of expression to paint the way I want and saves me from inheriting another artists style.
I have always been interested in art for as long as I can remember.

My work is usually acrylic on canvas and although the paintings tend to be very colourful I am mainly interested in colour and value relationships and how they work together, consequently my colour mixing palette is extensive as I continue this journey. My series ‘Joy of Colour’ does what it says on the tin, it celebrates what joyous feelings we have with a sensory feast of colour.
A main part of my vision is focusing on imaginary abstract or semi abstract landscapes.

Implicit is my dialogue with what is shown and that which is partially hidden.

Recently I have approached my work with a more abstract vibe, wanting the permission to realise and reveal more underlying layers of colour and fluidly of shapes without the specific design principles of realism. My series ‘Deconstructed’ explores the landscape very much intuitively where I let it flow mentally and physically with some strong shapes and lines.
I want to continue engaging in this way with my work as it gives me energy and makes me feel alive, I hope you enjoy looking.
