Galaxy – gold dust in a green depth Wall art seeds a drift of gold-ochre loads across a deep green and blue-green square — decorative painting that falls apart into separate strokes at close range and reassembles into one depth from across the room. Technique and texture The gold planes […]

Sunset 2 – a city at dusk, warmed by its windows The cool sister of the fiery Sunset: a misty city in teal and blue-greyish tones, above which floats a pale sage-green haze. Down the centre descends a soft, pale shaft of light – there is no burning sun-point here; […]

City Above Water – towers and their double Wall art echoes a city skyline in the still water below it, towers above and their reflection beneath: decorative painting whose subject is repetition with a difference. Technique and texture The whole surface is laid with a blade in short horizontal strokes […]

paintings – Faces 5 – overlapping looks in a wide band Wall art plaits several long faces into one wide horizontal band so the edge of each continues into the next: painting on canvas in which no head is separable from the one beside it. Technique and texture The colour […]

Blue Soothes – a misty city in cool planes A mosaic of small vertical knife facets in cool tones: teal, turquoise, pale blue, white-cream and grey-olive. The facets gather into vertical towers – like the outlines of a city in rain or dusk – and between them a white mist […]

The Blue – molten gold and cobalt in a wet night A night field of streams: in the upper left quarter an amber-gold glow burns and creeps downward, while the right half is flooded by a cobalt-blue cascade, brightest at the upper right of centre. Between and beneath them lies […]

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 […]

paintings – Bulldog – a dog with a bow tie and a cigar Wall art seats a French bulldog in the middle of an entirely empty white field with no background and no shadow — modern painting deriving its humour from the seriousness with which the animal is built. Technique […]

paintings – Rainy Stroll 4 – lights spilled across wet stone Wall art paves the lower half of the canvas with wet ground and lets the lights stretch down it into long vertical reflections — abstract painting at arm’s length, a street only once you step back. Technique and texture […]

Japanese Cherry Blossom 5 – white flowers before a burning sky Wall art bows a dark trunk out of the lower left corner and opens it in a wide arc across the full width of the canvas — decorative painting where the tree is old and everything it carries is […]

Transition II – three red crowns before the light Wall art veils three slim trees with deep red crowns in front of a large bright opening at the centre of the canvas, where brown, grey and ochre gather into a ring — abstract painting wearing a wood as a disguise. […]

Faces in the Mirror VI – one pupil across the whole canvas Painting on canvas magnifies the head until only one blue eye, a cheek and part of the lips reach the crop — wall art at this scale stops being a portrait and starts behaving like a pattern. Technique […]

Faces in the Mirror III – four eyes in a square Painting on canvas crams four faces into a square crop so they overlap and each shows only a part of itself: wall art doing what a crowd does — you read the group before you read anyone in it. […]

Pillar of Space – one red block among cream planes Wall art anchors an upright red block right of centre between cream and beige textured planes — painting on canvas spare enough that the block’s position carries the whole composition. Technique and texture The cream planes were built in several […]

Play of Sun and Nature – two fields and the seam between them Wall art splices an upright canvas into a gold-yellow field radiating downward and a grass-green one growing up to meet it — decorative painting reduced to two directions and the bright line where they arrive. Technique and […]

Blossom in Red I – one colour through all its grades Wall art banks the same block form outward from a dark core in nothing but reds — coral, carmine, burgundy and a brown so deep it is nearly black — abstract painting that sets itself the hardest version of […]

Blossom II – slices turning around a grey core Wall art rakes pink, coral and cream slices of paint around a grey core set left of centre: abstract painting whose subject is not a flower but the act of loading a blade and lifting it away. Technique and texture Each […]

Nude III – a red dress over a shifting ground Wall art braces both hands on the hips so the arms shut into a pair of hard angles beside a red dress that opens downward into a bell; behind her the wall passes out of grey, through gold, into a […]
