Blank canvas. Orange, pink, black, dark grey... becoming light. A bird has passed, leaving the imprint of a quiver deep in the sky. Green earth, turquoise, sparkle of a stroke, she raises her face, quiet, contemplative. Blank canvas, filled silence, faded blue, mirror of senses where the emotion is sheltered in the furrow of a brush of ruffled seaweed. Transmutation...red ochre, flutter of lashes. Manganese, smile. Suspended yellow.
“An original acrylic on block canvas painting of London's busy Oxford Street. This one is caught during the last rays of daylight as the shoppers meet the commuters on their way home to make way for the night owls! This one focused again on ambient and neon light, also using a lot of palette knife work to lay on thick paint.”
“I love Cornwall as a County. Here I tried to capture the beauty of the North coast through the use of sand and stone linked to the beautiful blue of the sea.”
“This photograph was taken after a violent squall by Castle Crags on Benarty Hill, looking towards Bishop Hill in Kinross-shire. The clearing squall and low raking light created a double rainbow. The title, ‘She's Electric’, is because the fence in the foreground is electric - possibly to stop the sheep from a 200 feet drop.”
“A large painting in splash or drip art style made famous by Jackson Pollock. The technique looks random and and easy to achieve, however these take quite a bit of planning to create a balance across the whole piece built up over several layers, and you need a lot of space in your studio to work around the horizontal canvas. This piece represents the progress of colour through autumn from light yellows through orange and eventually to the rich reds of late autumn. A stunning piece of abstract art for any home and a painting which will light up a room.” Discover our collection of works inspired by Jackson Pollock - https://www.artfinder.com/story/inspired-by-pollock/
“This piece is a delicate original ink illustration upon a page from a genuine love letter written in 1946. Amidst my search for various paper ephemera, I happened upon a group of letters by a trainee Navy Engineer named James to his sweetheart and fiancée Ruth. They were separated by almost 3000 miles whilst James underwent his specialist training for the Navy and while writing every day (sometimes twice) James describes the strict rules of his particular barracks, the jokes he and the other trainees play on each other and most beautifully, how much he misses and loves Ruth.”
“I love the rhythm of this pose. I captured it by cutting paper which I'd painted a bright shade of azure, and mounting this on a crisp white background. I cut out just enough detail to suggest how the model is sitting, but I like to leave a lot for the viewer to work out. My series of cut-out nudes was initially inspired by Matisse's Blue Nudes - I try to emulate some of his energetic style and apparent simplicity in my work.”
“I adore the shape of a heart and it's symbolism. Inspired by aboriginal art, each dot is delicately hand painted using the end of a paint brush. Rich in pretty colours, this piece is an ideal gift for the one you love.”
“In this painting I wanted to capture that special feeling of the few moments before a first kiss. Once, at an exhibition opening, I saw an old couple spending quite a bit of time looking at this work. They went away and a little later came back to look at it some more, holding hands...”
“‘Silence Will Fall’ is the first painting of my new cycle ‘Silence’ which will be exhibited in Italy from September 6, 2014. I like to deal with themes of physical science and the cosmos, to tap into the sheer wonder of life. For me painting is also a spiritual approach to life; I therefore like to celebrate the vision of mystery. Like Magritte said: "Art is a mean of evoking mystery ." In this new cycle my research goes to silence - can we possibly hear silence, see nothingness, experience anything outside the continuum of time? I think that silence is a powerful force. It can produce profound emotions or conjure startling sensory experiences, and it seems inextricably linked to the passage of time. Ultimately, it is a sense of equilibrium that I seek to express, a feeling of inner peace and balance to the attainment of a divine state.”
