Between 2017 and 2020 I have completed over 120 distressed portraits of European philosophers as a response to the UK's proposed exit from the EU. Maintaining a balance between the figurative and the abstract for each subject is a constant challenge as the eye tries to piece together a wholeness you are comfortable with — there’s an attempt by the eye to repair, it’s an instinctive action born out of fear of breakdown or formlessness. This is most evident in the large works where only by stepping back do the seemingly incoherent marks and colours resolve into a meaningful figure. This conflict between the paint as a material and the representation is never in perfect synchronicity, and although they can sometimes reinforce each other, there is always a tension between them.

Born in the UK in Manchester- now working from my Studio in St Ives. My oil paintings explore aspects of MELANCHOLIA using traditional methods of oil paint on canvas and on wooden panels. I work initially from pen and ink drawings that combine elements of my own figurative drawing with my photographs and found images. Working directly onto the support with oil glazes, I use these subverted images as the basis for a loose and immediate style of painting. Consequently the oil paintings have a freshness of execution despite the melancholic themes.
