'Regulated Directrive'

Inspired by an unusual, civic marking on the road. I loved the skewed shape and unusual turquoise colour! It seemed to represent so much of metropolitan life - how we are restricted by paved pathways and instructional signage, yet wonderful oddities will still emerge - and often hiding personal secrets, like the small pieces of detritus hidden in cracks.

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!
