Warwickshire College Library recently acquired one of my old university paintings. Below is an image of the painting and of the work in situ. Despite being quite old it still has some areas of painterly play which I am very pleased with.

The paintnig, ‘untitled’ 2005, is about fairly simple formal plays. It is interested in the relationship between oppositions; organic and geometric, process and design, one side and another, flatness and depth. Whilst my subject matter has expanded these are still features integral to my practise. On a wider level the work was interested in pretensious romanticised notions of paintings ability to provide transcendence from tangible reality. In truth it is far more vacuous than such claims suggest.
