Introduction to the Originals . . .

​

My work is currently exploring an almost ‘back to basics’ approach to what truly drives me to create images . . . They are a ‘stepping away’ from the frequent obsession with detail in my work . . . they are also a ‘stepping away’ from colour . In a modern world so relentlessly and intensely saturated with a constant barrage of imagery and colour I find myself returning to my long standing fascination with black and white or at least near monochromatic imagery. Most of my primary artistic influences over the years follow a strong monochromatic aesthetic and this was also perhaps reinforced by my studies in black and white photography . 

​

These current paintings are all created using inks, pigments and powders , soot solutions and refined beeswax. The beeswax is used as resists during the works and as part of my final sealing process to ensure these paintings will not shed , fade or degrade over time .
