Artwork location: United Kingdom

This artwork features a dominant expanse of vibrant blue, captivating the eye with its bold presence. Interspersed across this deep azure field are irregular, scattered patches of vivid red, pink, and green, creating a dynamic interplay of color that exudes energy and movement. These splashes of color contrast sharply against the blue, adding depth and intrigue. The edges are framed with subtle hints of yellow and white, contributing to a sense of balance and completeness. The artist expertly employs texture, with layered brushstrokes that evoke a tactile sensation and invite closer inspection. This composition masterfully juxtaposes solid areas with fluid shapes, resulting in a harmonious yet striking visual impact. The piece is a celebration of color and form, demonstrating an innovative use of abstract technique that captivates and challenges the observer.

Presentation

For me, anything or anyone interesting is has required looking beneath what is presented. My work explores this theme in conjunction with the concept of natural connection.

There is a unifying underlying language. The paint—its forms, colours and textures—seems to want to express something about the will of nature to make connections and look below the surface, its use of energy to bind atoms and molecules into organic forms. I see these ideas emerging as I create a new piece. Sometimes I will respond by zooming in on moments or molecules because they feel extraordinary to me. At other times I will accept that there is an immoveable layer or veil before me, whose windows or tears enable glimpses of an organic world beyond. In that respect, each new piece is a conversation between me and the medium about this other conversation between me and the world.
In the end, I want my work to express the beauty and harmony inherent in these ideas.

I like the boldness of acrylics, and they lend themselves well to an important aspect of my process, which is to work over an initial ground soon after it is finished, before applying sometimes several additional layers as the picture makes its way to its final form. Often I use pencil too to create texture and looseness.

The most important thing for me is a feeling of balance and naturalness. I want my paintings to feel like meaningful interventions and yet also like things that have always existed, or that could evolve naturally.
