Working towards The Crypt show

Here is a detail snap of a painting for the show at The Crypt in October. The whole painting is 70x100cm acrylic.

Recent small works - Hidden

In my practice I use colour and form to create space on the canvas, the ability to create the illusion of space on the flat surface still fascinates me. In the recent Hidden series I have been looking at the idea of obscuring the view of that space, making you want to duck your head around to see what it hidden behind. They are little paintings that themselves are small enough that they might become hidden in the gallery space.

Leytonstone Arts Trail 2013

Waltham Forest Arts Club will have a group exhibition in the lovely garden and inside at the North Star pub - July 6th to 14th - for the 9 days of the Leytonstone Arts Trail.
We may have an evening event during that period.
I will have paintings and sculpture, possibly something in response to the venue.

The North Star pub is in a designated conservation area, dates from 1858, and is named for a train so has lots of train memorabilia.
Address: 24 Browning Road, Leytonstone, London E11 3AR. It is a 5-minute walk from Leytonstone tube station on the Central line.
Opening Hours: Monday 4-11pm / Tuesday-Saturday 12-11pm / Sunday 4-10.30pm

Possible art that will be seen: performance, shadow installation, ceramic sculpture, painting, drawing, 3D on the wall, installation, and constellation calligraphy.
A website of information about our exhibition will be set up as we get closer to the date.

Tasty Modern

I chose the most popular small painting from my Open Studios last September to be in Tasty Modern at Schwartz Gallery in Hackney Wick. An acrylic and gesso painting on wood panel called 'Songs Are Like Tattoos'. 

"Tasty Modern is a metaphorical smorgasbord of contemporary art for the consumption of art ideas investigating the art of taste-making. In a thinly-veiled yet flavoursome dig at one of the temples of modern and contemporary art, Tasty Modern is a tongue-in-cheek look at current contemporary art practice in London."

Public view: Friday 15th February: 6 -10 p.m
