Artist information
Hi over the years I have developed a unique style, using the materiality of rough oriented strand board (OSB) combined with the viscosity of layered oil paint, to convey a positive emotional energy through abstracted forms. I regularly exhibit around the country and have had work accepted into the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
After studying 20th Century Art (BA Hons) I was inspired by the sense of artistic freedom generated by the ground breaking artists of that period.
I am constantly experimenting within the material confines I have set myself. When developing a piece, it can be a destructive process, sometimes eradicating an ordered image to emphasise layers and textures, and the passage of time. This results in each of artwork, having a personal intensity and physicality, that imparts a sculptural tactility.
It would be lovely to see you anytime at my studio at the Bevere Gallery WR3 7RQ
