Welcome to an exhibition of recent paintings, most of which were created in September and October 2022.

These works build and go deeper into the ideas of colour and movement that I’ve been working with over the past few years.

The Horizontal Lines series involves many thin layers of acrylic paint, applied in sideways lines over brief intense periods. These motions are repetitive and meditating, and reflect my current physical state.

Similarly, the oil works are a representation of my body’s movement, the combinations of swirls and strokes marking the canvas with expressive gestures.

With all of these works, colour is sometimes harmonious, sometimes contrasting, and is something I am forever developing my personal relationship with.
