Lime and Red

Product description

Working process in painting, drawing and printing - ‘Using oils and acrylic paint on canvas, sometimes with oil bars and pastels, I draw on abstract expressionist elements of gestural mark making, such as layering, brush marks, pouring paint, and the use of expressive colour to create vivid paintings that draw on physical and psychological experiences.  The challenge is to retain a strong basic structure while painting freely and gesturally.

My influences are too numerous to mention, but ‘guiding lights’ in earlier days – and even now – are Matisse, Heron, late Turner, as well as some high-abstract British painters from the sixties and seventies who have steadfastly continued to work in this way.’
