ARTISTS STATEMENT 2024

 

Joan Mitchell said “I carry my landscape with me”. For me it is “I carry my architecture with me”.
 
Having spent 30 years as an architect and graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins London, I bring these 2 disciplines together in my Practice as a Painter.
 
This results in internalised expression of space. I call it Spatial Expressionism.
 
 

I have moved studio from Urban environment to Forest.

The unique Spatial quality has influenced the Spatial Expression in my work. Scale and Distance are difficult to judge. Intense pigmented Colours are present here and there.

​

Being immersed in the Forest, a distinct Spatial Attribute is the Verticality of it and how one cannot see the top and bottom simultaneously.

My preoccupation with Internalised Space and Colour in painting continues.
