Oil Paintings from 2010

“After a gap of over twenty years I returned to oil painting revisiting the human figure. The philosophy hasn’t changed from the large multi figure work exhibited in 1987, except I now place more emphasis on colour and how the marks are pitched against each other. I am still driven by the desire to dismantle the human figure and return it to the cosmos surrounding it.

The work is as much about energy as exposing the charisma or soul of our human existence. In the end the figure has to succumb to its core reality, that it is no more and no less than any other form of consciousness making up our Universe.”
