About Us

The pieces are designed to show the action/ process/ emotion involved in producing the piece of work. Works reflect the themes of contemporary life in the urban environment.

Sentimentalism is sacrificed for dynamism, demonstration of action and colour emotion. A variety of media is used- oils, acrylics, inks and stone & chisels.

Influences are varied including- Jasper Johns, Helen Levitt, Barnett Newman, Franz Kline, Man Ray, Arthur G. Dove, Edward Hopper, Jenny Holzer, Alexander Caldwell, Kruger, Dada Movement, Schnabel, Pollock, Matisse, Jacob Epstein, Damien Hurst, Gormley, The Abstract Expressionists, such as Marc Rothko.

The media is a mix of oil on canvas, over-painted/ sprayed with acrylics, oils, cellulose paints and ink. Sculptures are a mix of stone, and wood and wire.
