After nearly two months of development the title of the work emerged at the same time it reached its conclusion, hard fought through so many long nights and as many days with temperatures out the studio over 40C and inside even warmer.. so many years ago the lesson was taught if something isn’t right fix it.. despite kind words It seems that I set a high bar, so I hope it is worth it in your eyes.. as you will see later this piece made me go back to the drawing board and explore further what I actually want the viewer to experience.. our own very personal intimate relationship with the environment and of course with the work itself. it’s quite something to sit up close for hours and to look, contemplate and respond .. you notice every detail as they emerge and take their place with so many others. So now it’s your turn to explore and discover and begin your own conversation.. I’m quite sure you will learn as much about yourself as the work! and as a result of the many changes that were made. ‘Evolution’ (2021) is part of the Elements of Life series a celebration of our very fragile planet and our relationship with it. I take photographs at the end of every painting session for reference purposes together with many sketchbook notes and would be happy to share with a collector, archivist, publisher and gallery. I am prepared to ship this work rolled but would much prefer to ship mounted on the same stretcher it was made but that is a much more expensive operation involving a large wooden crate. Please contact me or saatchiart to discuss privately. This work will evolve alongside you with each day that you spend together, so much is hidden that will emerge only through time, just like you (and me). Time, understanding and appreciation are each very special elements that contribute towards an intimate lifelong shared relationship. I'm so pleased to be able make this introduction.

Born in Melton Mowbray, England, Whiteman graduated as a sculptor at Leicester Polytechnic in 1983 and moved to Madrid, Spain in 1991 where he lives and works today. Widely known for the ‘Living Sculptures’ he first developed as a student in 1982. They explore the relationship between the human figure and constructed environment and have since then been exhibited, collected and commissioned around the world. His paintings are more personal, intimate, revealing his passion for colour, light and landscape. Until recently they have remained in private hands, generously supported by a close circle of friends, family and collectors. His recent work sets out to explore through colour and light the land forms and textures he encounters capturing the spirit of a place rather than specific detail. They offer us that first glimpse as we turn our head, before we have time to focus on a scene that might be unexpected, breathtaking and beautiful, strong enough to both arouse attention and heighten our senses. Like most British artists, his approach reflects a formative training and strong narrative in European Art juxtaposed with a desire to question everything, experiment and push the boundaries of representation. In his own words ‘I see to create and create to see’ draws upon his formal training by leading artists, each contributed towards laying a solid foundation of good practice, research and clear vision. Only when the rules are understood can they be broken and experimentation unleashed; the rule book respectfully riped up or rewritten. The only limit is your imagination and the only ‘new’ rule is there are no rules! His approach to ideas has never taken the most direct or obvious route, afterall, that hardly ever leads to exciting imagery or break through discoveries. To give one example, whilst preparating to start a major stone carving (1981) he made many observation drawings, plaster maquettes and photographs. Nothing unusual about that until it was revealed that he was the model cacooned in Lycra in the photographic series ‘Tension’ (1981). They provided what he needed to complete the stone carving and openned the door to a completely new creative process by simplifying the human form and removing its identity, it also transformed the live sculptural model into the new object of his work.
