I am a self-taught artist, and an artist in the broader sense of the word, operating in both music and the visual arts. Within these spheres my work encompasses a wide spectrum; as a musician blending Rock, Jazz, Folk and Ambient and as a visual artist ranging from line drawings to abstracts.
Of the latter, my abstracts (under the generic title “The Art of Abstraction”) represent my most important work and are primarily concerned with the exploration of colour as form in itself (or as form in potential)
Produced in series, all paintings are improvised, with only colour combination and/or background style pre-determined
Each work is developed gradually, with one idea suggesting the next (building layer upon layer) until a cohesive image results, which is as much “grown” as designed.
This organic approach is crucial: each painting represents nothing but itself and is thus left open to personal interpretation, presenting a mirror for the viewer’s imagination and perceptions.
Consequently, no titles are given. This avoids inhibiting the scope for interpretation, allowing one to “fill the gaps” free of influence.
This interpretive quality is also present in my solo musical venture, Inner Landscapes, an album of tonal impressions (the aural equivalent of my paintings) where the relationship between viewer and picture is explored in sound.
More recently, I have branched out into digital photography, with an ongoing series, “The Art of Tourism”, representing the meeting point of holiday snaps and serious photography.
I have exhibited in London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Bristol, Kent and York, and since September 2008 I have been an affiliate member of the Bromley Arts Council, located at Ripley Arts Centre, Bromley, Kent.
Examples of my work can currently be seen at the Torwood House Hotel, Penzance, Cornwall.
