The Otherlands 3 Framed

This is the third entry in my collection of painting I call the "Otherlands", rather than basing these works on a picture or real place I have been to this is based on the compiled stories and descriptions of places I have heard about from friends and family, by listening to their experiences I create a new location in my head which I have translated onto the canvas. I love the idea of visiting this place, but I know I never can.

I find that my art enables me to express elements of my world that can't necessarily be seen by the naked eye, its an attempt at conveying something a bit intangible. Abstraction is the primary way I communicate my ideas and experiences in art.
The naive and somewhat primitive lines, shapes, colours and textures I use are my attempt at capturing the atmosphere, personality or feeling of a place or person I have encountered in my life, realism or a photograph in my opinion doesn't always capture these elements of the world.
I feel that my art brings these to the surface...it shows the soul of something, somewhere, or someone. Perhaps you will see someone you know within my strange works, maybe even yourself.
