Faces in the Mirror IV – a blue eye beside red strands Painting on canvas shoulders the face against the right edge and lets it be cut there, so what stays in the crop is a single enormous blue eye — decorative painting at its least symmetrical and deliberately unresolved. […]

Flower of Passion – red branches out of a black core Wall art branches a red form upward out of an almost black core at the lower edge, thinning toward the top into separate points while the ground behind it moves from brown into a glowing gold-yellow — modern painting […]

Universe II – rings around a bright centre Wall art coils concentric rings around a white-silver core lying left of centre: painting on canvas made with one continuous circular gesture repeated in ever-wider orbits until it runs out of canvas. Technique and texture Because the blade never lifted, the furrows […]

Blossom I – rectangular leaves in silver and honey Wall art radiates flat rectangular blocks outward from a dark core in silver-blue and gold-beige — decorative painting rather than pattern, because no block repeats the size of another. Technique and texture A stiff blade set each block down in one […]

Nude IV – a close crop in gold Wall art shears the figure at the shoulders and again lower down, leaving a square crop that holds only the middle of the body in a red garment — modern painting that withholds more than it shows and gets its tension from […]

Planets – rings scattered over a silver ground Wall art strews concentric circles of three sizes across a densely worked silver ground, each of them built from rings of green, red, blue and turquoise stacked from the outside in: abstract painting in which no circle ever overlaps another. Technique and […]

When the Sun Touches the Earth – one point on the horizon Wall art fuses sky and earth into a single bright point at the middle of the horizon, orange and red above it, green below, and spreads a thread-like mesh outward from it across both halves: painting on canvas […]

Music – a band of strokes and its echo Wall art doubles a narrow band of vertical strokes across the middle of an almost empty canvas, repeating it beneath a horizontal line as a reflection: painting on canvas in which blue, green, red and black are set down side by […]

River through the Landscape I – a white bed in two bends Painting on canvas loops a wide white riverbed up through dark olive country in two long bends, from the bottom edge to the middle of the picture, under an orange-red clouded sky: wall art in the upright format, […]

Nature at Sunset – two stands of trees over dark water Painting on canvas mirrors two stands of orange-gold autumn trees in the dark water below them and leaves the middle empty except for a single bright point on the horizon: decorative painting in which the lower half was not […]

In Space XI – leaf imprints between red and ochre Wall art crosses a saturated red rectangle on the left with a gold-brown band that comes in on the diagonal from the right, and lays three pale leaf imprints over both — decorative painting whose real subject is the difference […]

Flowers VI – crumpled pink heads on a wall coming apart Wall art fills the middle of the canvas with three large vivid pink poppy heads and two closed buds, their petals crumpled and paler at the rim, their centres dark under dense gold stamens — decorative painting set against […]

Flowers II – four heads waving above a red band Wall art aligns four vivid orange-red heads in a row above a red-brown band, each of them five heart-shaped petals around a gold-lit centre and a dark spherical core: decorative painting ordered by repetition rather than by any grid. Technique […]

Meaning III – a pink horseshoe over olive Wall art curves three pink forms over a green-grey ground that was worked entirely with a knife, the largest of them a broad horseshoe opening upward across the lower half: modern painting carried by one saturated colour, with the ground doing none […]

In Space VII – three panels and a copper tube Painting on canvas segments the surface into three upright panels with nothing in common but their edges — rough dark reddish brown on the left, smooth light cream in the middle, a moulded floral relief on the right: decorative painting, […]

Thought III – a white cross over earth and gold Painting on canvas breaks a warm earth ground with two white lines that cross to the left of centre: abstract painting whose whole event is that intersection, since the brown, gold and olive beneath it is built from upright blocks […]

Flowers in a Vase III – yellow heads on a brick ground Painting on canvas joins three different relief surfaces into one motif — a brick-patterned greenish grey ground, a mosaic bronze vase and yellow-gold heads with red-orange centres: modern painting, its texture changing every time the subject does. The […]

Warmth – yellow falling to carmine over five gold tiles Wall art steps the colour down from a pale yellow at the top through peach orange into a saturated red, closing at the bottom in a band of dark carmine — decorative painting built entirely on that fall, with not […]

Ambient V – A Collision of Red, Yellow, and Cobalt The boldest painting of the Ambient series: the left half is taken up by a massive vivid red-orange mass, stacked from brick-like palette-knife slabs, while the upper right part darkens into a maroon-black zone – the same fiery family, but […]

Ambient II – incised marks across a creamy white mass Wall art presses red, orange and blue planes hard against the large creamy white mass that holds the middle of the canvas — decorative painting, and the colours meet as two masses rather than as a gradient, because every edge […]

African Painting Hot Sun – a dance before a white centre Painting on canvas whitens the middle of the canvas to the brightest point in the picture and sets four tall figures against it with their arms raised above their heads: decorative painting whose heat comes from the ground moving […]

African Black Madonna – four silhouettes with vessels Painting on canvas marches four tall slender figures across the canvas in long dresses, two carmine, one patterned red-orange and one bright orange, each carrying a vessel — modern painting in which the heads and hands are reduced to featureless dark silhouettes […]
