THE REBEL

he is writing this at home in his new wimpy home..

in the burbs..

he is not amused..

art school has disappeared in the rear view mirror..

and he has a job..

although it is a graphics job..

and he gets to take photos and design stuff..

this is not his dream..

he is at heart an attic man..

so he paints in joe's garage..

he is a nice boy..

"he used to cut the grass"..

PARADISE LOST

he paints about the dreams of youth..

and how each generation sees it's rebellions dissolve..

it's all in the pictures..

click on the images for full size readability..

he includes quotes form books he likes..

and poems he has written

his friends are invited to write stuff..

an artist's dream come true..

ALWAYS FIGURES FOR ME

 

yo!.. from a heart... innit!

become yourself..

graham Sutherland said that..

here in the souk..

the sun is heading home..

and still..

the figures come..

it's all a light show really..

reflect and wonder..

 'Figures in a Souk' is a series of experimental oil paintings. I start out only to paint . The figures emerge from the canvas as the process develops. I usually like to paint over existing works of mine as that provides a unique starting point and existing textures and gestures. The Souk is an imagined interior with filtered light. You bring your own imagination to the work. What you see is determined by what you know, how you feel, what you believe.
