BIRDS AND LANDSCAPES

I have always been interested in Natural History and have travelled extensively as an expedition artist to four continents, taking photographs, making sketches and adding images to my personal stock. I work on canvas, paper and wood and just about any other surface that is flat enough to paint and print on. Fusing simplicity and chaos the paintings and prints are created using original screenprinted material, photographs, freehand drawings, text and collage. I revel in the interwoven and undefined, the popular and the sublime.

This huge diversity of life and style from around the world is mixed as the figurative and the abstract – stained and distressed canvases are screenprinted or painted with bold images, a flicker of text or a drawn line.

MEDUSA

MEDUSA was the daughter of the sea-god PHORCYS. MEDUSA was created by Athene. She had snakes instead of hair, reptilian eyes and could turn ordinary mortals to stone with her stare. She and her two sisters, also monsters, were called Gorgons. This painting came about in the form of a private commission from a client in Bristol who wanted an absolutely drop dead gorgeous and sexy version of the mythical creature…….

RETRO AND AMERICANA

For me - early influences were movies and comics - particularly Marvel and DC. I loved old and new film posters and black and white photography. I was also influenced by such artists as Jasper Johns, Robert Raushenberg, Larry Rivers and later - Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton and Peter Blake……I also admired a group of American designers and illustrators - Bob Peak, Marshal Arisman, and Frank Frazetta. The poster design for Bruce Browns 'Endless Summer' is probably my favourite bit of graphic art of all time.
