Wall art - paintings on canvas - Single-panel

paintings – Lonely Tree – a thousand flowers in one crown Wall art crowns a single tree with thousands of round loads in cream, mint, green and ochre until the canopy spans almost the whole width of a panoramic canvas: modern painting that is a field of relief dots at […]

Texture and Movement – a vertical rhythm of the knife A panorama of vertical knife strokes – white and cream bundles over rust, brown and black – all texture, without a single centre: black masses rise at the upper centre-left and at the left edge mid-height, where a grey square […]

Without Reason – a white core between red and blue Wall art butts wide blade-laid blocks of colour against one another across a landscape canvas, burning red on the right and turquoise on the left: abstract painting with no narrative at all, where colour is the only event. Technique and […]

Colour Grid – a Mondrian rhythm of colour blocks A panorama – a grid of colour blocks in the Mondrian spirit, strung across the middle of a grey-beige plaster field, framed by black grid strokes, thin red and orange dash lines and white mast strokes rising above the band: in […]

Originals – records from a red-and-gold archaeology A panoramic abstraction with the flavour of an archaeological find: blocks of red, golden ochre and amber carry systems of signs, as if the canvas kept messages of a vanished script. Each element is its own record, and the whole a collection of […]

Universe III – a glowing spiral in gold and red The hot sister of Universe I: a concentric spiral carved with a palette knife, this time in the colours of embers. The luminous cream-gold core lies left of centre on the panoramic canvas, and at the very centre of the […]

Red Flowers – four poppies inside a silver ornament Wall art frames four red poppies with an ornament that closes round them on three sides, and stands them on thin dark stems against a red-orange ground that pales to creamy white at its centre: decorative painting in which the border […]

Rainbow Tree – a tree of life in the spectrum A panorama – a tree of life with a rainbow canopy of petal impasto dabs spanning the full width on a warm cream ground threaded with falling colour drips: the spectral range runs left to right – violet at the […]

Colour Diagonals – crossing strokes across the canvas A panorama of crossing diagonal stroke bundles – maroon-red, orange-gold, blue and black – sweeping edge to edge over a white-cream ground shaded grey at the upper right: a maroon-red bundle descends from the upper left toward the centre, a broad orange-gold […]

Golden Reflections – rows of gold dots over water A panorama – rows of round gold, copper and brown dots march across the middle between a silver-white impasto sky and a mint-teal water zone with reflections: vertical dots in gold, copper, chestnut and white are densely packed into three or […]

Colourful Tree – a crown in three bands of colour Painting on canvas splays a single tree into a wide arc on a plain white ground and divides its crown into three bands of colour — modern painting handling a spectrum the way a landscape usually handles distance. Technique and […]

Blossoming – golden islands in turquoise washes An archipelago of gold-blossom clusters scattered over pale grey, blooming among turquoise washes, emerald flecks and black ink shadows – a lichen field seen from above: five or six main islands, from a large mass at the upper left cut by the edge […]

Gold over the Dark – a sea force in three zones Horizontal layers like a seascape: a great continent of leaf gold across the top, foamy white over black through the middle and bottom – gold over the dark: the hammered gold mass spans almost the full width with ragged […]

Golden Band – a grainy coastline from the air A grainy coastline seen from the air, in three layers: a dark grey band of sky or sea across the top, its lower boundary softly undulating and stepping down right of centre – a visible fault in the coast – and […]

Winter Plain – a white slab and a black band with a kink Sharp winter geometry in a landscape format: beneath a flat grey sky lies a wide white horizontal slab, cut below half height across the full width by an almost black band, and the bottom of the canvas […]

Quiet Horizon – a raised seam in creamy white An almost monochrome cream-white canvas with a single event: at a good sixty percent of the height, a slightly irregular, physically raised seam crosses the full width – not a drawn but a tangible line – and above it, like a […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

paintings – Squares 2 – a mesh of spirals in earth tones Wall art grids the canvas into a dense field of rounded squares and writes a single spiral into each one: decorative painting that sets out to be a pattern and then refuses to complete itself as one. Technique […]

paintings – Trace – a red arc across cracked grey Wall art flings red paint in a wide arc rising from the lower left toward the upper right of a black-and-white ground — abstract painting in which the picture is a record of a movement rather than a drawing of […]

View – a face looking straight back Painting on canvas squares a face to the viewer and builds it from dark and light planes with a red scarf around head and neck — decorative painting only in the loosest sense, because this one looks back at the room. Technique and […]

Tree and Lava – a blue crown in a gold wind Wall art unfurls a wide blue crown across a gold-orange sky and stands it on a dark brown hill in the lower third of the canvas — modern painting in which the two halves of the colour wheel are […]

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 […]

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 […]
