Oil on stretched canvas, ready to hang.
Signed on the back.
My landscapes are seen as an organic shape, on a rectilinear surface, rhythmically set into an ordered geometric and basic architectural mid ground.
A heady mix of influences from Dutch realism to Rene Magritte and Francis bacon. My paintings both collide and collude, within the subject.
I am exploring the interaction of architecture into the pristine land and the inevitability of creation and loss. These dichotomies create a pivot point where the organic and the geometric must exist together with writhing beauty and calculated edges.
I want the central image to leap out and then draw you in, while the other geometric players create an axis of alternative elements and spaces.
