Artwork Description

A piece created whilst in lockdown.

Painting has been a great outlet for my energy during the lockdown. I've had time to take a step back from my usual manic life to reassess what's important and explore many artistic avenues. This is the first of my Lockdown series.

Bright hopeful colours clash with the darkness of uncertainty.

The sides are painted black for a sharp modern edge, left to frame however you choose.

Artist Bio

Emerging outsider/abstract artist.

I believe that the process of making art is just as important as the end result.
Music is the primary source of my inspiration, as notes in the song take over me, dictating my rhythm and pace by the beat of sound. The various sounds heavily influence my palette choices. When creating a piece, I take energy from music, which brings me into a state of flow as I attack the canvas with my brush and paint. I tend not to use visual inspiration, just simply the feeling and emotion generated by the song I am listening to at that point in time.

My preference is to use a wide array of contrasting and clashing colours. I do not enjoy harmony, and this is evident in the way multiple layers amalgamate, resulting in a cacophony of bold, frenzied colourful strokes on the canvas. I love building layers of colour on colour, bringing depth to each painting. My paintings play with the viewer’s focus; the deeper you look, the more you discover with each glance.
