Statement:
My paintings are concerned with remembered atmospheres from specific places, whether it is an interior or landscape, it is the atmosphere that I am interested in evoking rather than specific details of the place itself. The two paintings I have submitted, engage with the theme of the show in different ways.
In the end 2021 shows a sapling growing in front of a woodpile from a dead tree. The juxtaposition refers to a life cycle that is natural and unchanging. The sapling is partially obscured by the growing bamboo and this connects with the split bamboo fence that intersects the painting suggesting another life cycle. My exhibited work includes installation, photography and painting: at present I am using paint as a medium predominantly but continue to make installation if the opportunity arises. I exhibit regularly in the UK and have work in public and private collections in Europe and UK.
