Only once we abandon the notion that Art is the skilful imitation of appearances, can we begin to understand the profound nature of non-representational abstract works and the intellectual facility required to create them.
In the minimalist/conceptual tradition, my paintings are investigations of pictorial space. The viewer’s response is generated through the interaction of hypnotic shapes and lines, bright, undiluted colours and an air of balance.
With an almost compulsion, the viewer is drawn into the ineffable: that space which exists in and beyond the everyday world. My understanding of the principles of visual organisation and a technical excellence that is, in itself a vehicle of aesthetic value.
