Abstracted landscapes 2008 - 2015
Our environmental concerns are explored in these abstracted landscapes using innovative mixed media techniques and often large-scale compositional experiments. A variety of surface qualities are achieved from heavily built-up areas in scumbled, abrazed and glazed zones. An interest in technical innovators such as Antoni Tapies and Max Ernst has been part of research developed throughout the years using an understanding of paint chemistry and inventive applications.
