ARTIST STATEMENT
My style of impressionism is one of fundamental originality and total uniqueness. I feel an unexplainable connectedness to 17th and 18th Century France and to the first recorded illuminated manuscripts, sketches and printings. My inspiration is Albrecht Durer (1471-1528).
Intuition and instinct for my paintings return me to a bygone era …… a time of immense social festivities, magnificent entertainments (theatre, balls, carnivals, costumes, wigs, white-powder makeup), architecture, furnishings and mythology. I am somewhat drawn to the immoral darker side - the mistresses, ladies of the night and the sinful behaviour of the 'upper-class' - so opposing to the underprivileged, who lived in obvious poverty. My art is sometimes an expression of the scandalous and shameless demeanour of that era.
With this in mind, I seek to work responsively, almost unconsciously, my method allowing all visual possibilities to emerge from an unknown source within. I prefer to dismiss my formal training, seeking to achieve compositions displaying stylish application of intense colour that explode into timeless voluptuous works, distinctive in character. My art encompasses a detailed structured drawing, but ensures unconstrained spontaneity in the application of brushwork. I enjoy the freedom of oil on canvas and as you can see, my lavish images are not always "politically correct".
Many original oils (Nude Series Collection) still available.
