“It was recently pointed out to me that quite a few of my works resemble L.S.Lowry’s work, and up until that point I hadn’t even considered it ! But the more I think about it the more I realise its correct.. I love the industrial landscape and blank empty seascapes which made him famous and return to them time and time again.”
I’m interested in the nature of reality as presented in art.. I generally play in the visual space somewhere between the photographic and the completely abstract. I look for abstraction when looking at reality.. and seek some visual realism when looking at abstraction.
“I’m a big Red Bubble fan (see below) and monitor these pages regularly.. so you can contact me easily via the links here. I welcome contact from anyone interested in my work.”
(...would be an even bigger fan if they improved their range of print options i.e. a range of quality papers etc.)
