Original artwork description:

Justin and Louise is about love and indiscretion.
I use abstraction to disguise authentic moments, I recognise the subject but it is edited for the viewer.
I layer paint several times, building up and then hiding the information. Relationships are visualised as shapes, figures are distorted to emphasise their stature, nature or pose.
I take time in the studio mixing the colours in oil, relishing the texture of thick, flowing paint. Every colour is chosen to amplify the mood in the painting. I want the viewer to enjoy the paint as much as I do, working vigorously with gestural brush strokes straight on to the canvas.
