Urban, abstract artist.
My passion is to explore the colours, patterns and textures of city environments. What are the emotional effects of the built surrounds on us?
I work with oils and industrial mixed media, on canvas.
So, for added authenticity, I like to mix gritty construction materials directly into the paint itself, including discarded items and everyday familiar fragments of our lives - as visual jolts and surprises.
To take a deep, close-up look at the traces of our humanity, within the dense urban overlay - to re-discover what resonates.
To seek-out unusual compositions. To incorporate found designs. To discover & share a ‘new music’ exuding from the pavements and plate glass windows, the cracks & peeling paint - recognisable things we so often pass by unnoticed. A deeper take into making sense of how all the parts fit together.
Diving into the 'beauty & the trauma' of it all!
