Artwork Description

"The Barber, Bodrum" captures a moment on a sun-drenched street in Türkiye. This acrylic painting on canvas board showcases a quiet scene, with the focal point being a traditional barbershop. The artist renders the interplay of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Dappled sunlight falls on a single outdoor chair, casting intriguing patterns that dance across the pavement and wall, bringing the scene to life with vibrant energy.

A curious cat rests on the threshold, adding a touch of gentle life to the composition. This piece, inspired by moments of quiet observation during travels, evokes the charm of village life in Bodrum.

Artist Bio

I loved to draw and paint from a very early age. I was fascinated by the capability of artists to bring to life the world around them; to represent form, light and shade; to create three dimensions within two.

Simultaneously I was drawn to photography. From my earliest self-processed black and white prints to the sophistication of modern digital manipulation, I have always taken pictures.

In my professional life I established and ran successful creative businesses in London, Luxembourg, Malaga, Berlin and Sydney. I held senior roles in prominent design practices and advertising agencies, including the creative directorship of Europe's first online service.

More recently I taught design at universities and design schools in Sydney, Australia and Southern Spain with particular focus upon sustainable design thinking, human-centred design and developing successful design practice.

I began my career as a junior illustrator in London. It's therefore appropriate that with more time on my hands these days I should return to my first love.
