Artwork Description

Blackboard from Mr Squiggle and friends.

Blackboard always came across as a bit dour and impatient towards Mr Squiggle but at the same time kept him grounded and focused on his drawing.

We all need a Blackboard in our lives at times!

The painting has three-dimensional elements, an inset left eye and and an open mouth.

This painting is the companion piece to the Mr Squiggle portrait.

Artist Bio

I am fascinated by discovering how images and paintings are actually made, particularly the traditional craft of oil painting but
I also like experimenting with different ways of making paintings which includes using digital technology and trying out alternative media.

My artwork often blends usually discrete subjects, idioms and genres and I am often drawn to subjects which had a powerful impact on my imagination when I was a kid.

I often employ "found" or rediscovered imagery and try to re-contextualise it. The goal is to make images that are conduits to an experience of resonance for the viewer.
I use professional quality paints, surfaces, mediums and varnishes to ensure the works are permanent and stable.
