modern paintings

Green and Graphite – three zones of fresh plaster A wall abstraction in three zones: the upper seventy percent of the canvas is white-grey plaster smoothed with the knife, with cracks and patches; beneath it runs a straight mid-grey horizontal band, and the lower third is covered by a dense […]

paintings – Bouquet T – blue flowers in one mass Wall art masses blue and white flowers into a wide oval across the middle of a landscape canvas and gathers the stems beneath it into a dark brown fan — painting on canvas whose entire force is the density of […]

Spring Day – coral sparks on pale blue Abstract painting wakes a pale blue field with orange and coral sparks sown across the whole surface: decorative painting that makes a small room feel larger than it is. Technique and texture Several thin layers went down and were scratched while drying, […]

Figures in Turquoise – the same build in a cold key Painting on canvas chills the same structure into turquoise, grey and white and moves the white mass into the upper half — decorative painting rehearsing its own grey version at a lower temperature. Technique and texture Thin layers carry […]

Depth and Light – turquoise over a cream band Painting on canvas underlays a deep turquoise field with a wide cream band across the lower third and separates the two with a hard dark line: abstract painting divided firmly and on purpose off centre. Technique and texture The turquoise carries […]

Inner Fire – a white core in dark blue-green Painting on canvas glows an ochre column and a white core out of a dark blue-green field while the lower third burns in deep red and brick: decorative painting lit, apparently, from inside itself. Technique and texture The upper field is […]

Terracotta and Dusk – a black sweep across cream Painting on canvas slashes a wide black sweep horizontally across the upper third of a pale cream field and gathers terracotta, orange and cobalt in clusters on either side of it — modern painting keeping two thirds of itself deliberately empty. […]

paintings – Little Tree – a dark crown on plaster Wall art roots one dark tree at the exact centre of a cream-white worked ground and runs a turquoise band under it: painting on canvas that looks like old cracked plaster from close to and like a quiet landscape from […]

In Space V – Cross of Rust Wall art intersects a horizontal ochre band through a vertical brown mass and thickens metallic circles and rings where they meet — painting on canvas that reads at close range like an old worn machine. Technique and texture The densest load is at […]

paintings – Blue – sky and water in one plane Wall art combs concentric circles into a wet blue sky and stacks meadows and a water band beneath it on a square canvas — modern painting that stays a landscape only as far as the viewer assembles one. Technique and […]

paintings – Horizontal – gold light over still water Wall art bisects an upright canvas with a single horizontal line, gold-yellow light burning above a dark row of trees and a pale blue-grey surface lying below it: painting on canvas still just landscape enough to be recognised as one. Technique […]

Galaxy 2 – a mist over blue depth Wall art clears a pale blue-green mist across the top of an upright canvas, sets a dark band with a glowing rust core beneath it and lets deep cobalt take the foot: modern painting arranged as a look into a night sky […]

Above the Water – violet trees in reflection Wall art casts violet and turquoise trees into a bright sheet of water taking the lower third of the canvas — modern painting of this kind turns on which half is lit — here it is the wrong one. Technique and texture […]

Above the Lines – a city silhouette hanging from the sky Vertical stripes of colour on a silver-white, scratched ground: the columns of paint do not stand on the ground but hang from the upper edge like icicles. From left to right follow a deep red that darkens to wine […]

paintings – Filling Red – a city broken into cream Wall art crumbles a city skyline into hundreds of small tiles and lays them out in a wide horizontal band — modern painting where the subject is not drawn but assembled and only arrives when you step away. Technique and […]

Abstraction 9 – where hot meets cold One canvas, two worlds: the left half burns in layers of red, orange and scarlet, the right cools into deep navy blue. Left of centre a white-yellow explosion of horizontal fragments erupts – the brightest event of the painting – and beneath it […]

paintings – Stylized City – a red square on grey quiet Wall art lodges rectangles of different sizes in a low band across the middle of the canvas and sets a large red square among them — modern painting whose whole event happens along one horizontal. Technique and texture The […]

paintings – Coast – a rainbow wood over still water Wall art twins a many-coloured wood in the calm water beneath it so that the upper and lower halves of the canvas carry the same colour sequence: decorative painting that gets its structure from a fold rather than from a […]
