Product description

Depiction of the Castlefields estate in Runcorn during winter last year.


My interest in psycho-geography within the urban landscape stems from a childhood witnessing the slow decline of the functional working class towns surrounding me. This memory has informed my acrylic paintings of the transience of urban life told through empty buildings that stand silently in their atrophy on the periphery of regeneration awaiting demolition, unable to fit into their changing landscape, but held in stasis in a nostalgic haze, or as unsettling backdrops to dreams about our hometowns.


I am a self-taught landscape painter originally from Lancashire, now living in Salford. My usually small scale acrylic paintings tend to depict derelict buildings or landmarks on the hinterlands of northern towns and cities. I currently have a solo exhibition at Salford Museum in my adopted city, and this year won the RBSA Prize in Birmingham.
