Welcome - I hope you enjoy!
Here you can view my original oil paintings
Contemplative and spiritual, these contemporary abstract paintings have emerged from a theoretical basis stemming from Philosophy
Philosophical concepts and concerns such as the Mind/Body Problem, Time, Existence and Consciousness have all provided a conceptual underpinning for my work
Using lines or 'Verticals' as I prefer to call them, my work defies absolute, rigid definition and explanation - in this way the concerns of the metaphysical aspects of life (meta - after, metaphysical) have been voiced
I adopt a Reductionist approach, resulting in a clean, resonant, minimal aesthetic
This reduced aesthetic, leads to a sense of the mysterious, and of spiritual contemplation in my work
I will resist explaining my work too much
For me, good painting involves viewer interaction, reaction and sensation - never rigid explanation and visual overindulgence
