Lantern

Lantern is an exhibition currently in Soup Kitchen, Manchester.

Lots of talented individuals involved in this one. My lantern is based on a Morroccan lamp of mine and also the design of a Cathedral I visited in Casablanca.

Details of my paintings can be seen through the papercut windows.

An alternative way of presenting my work and I love an excuse to get the craft knives out...

Everythingism

'Everythingism' was the title I gave to my exhibition at VaultNQ, Manchester recently. It is a term which acknowledges the broad collection of influences that feed into my work. 

I am keen to see my work displayed in different settings as I am concerned with how the space around the canvas affects the work, and vice versa. VaultNQ provided an aesthetically interesting backdrop to my paintings, between its tiled or wooden paneled walls. I also learnt how hard it is to drill through grouting/ceramic tiles.

 This was my helpful viewers guide to finding the titles for each piece.

Thank you again to all who came, glad you enjoyed xx

Everythingism - An Exhibition of New Paintings (Poster)

So this Wednesday 30th Jan, an exhibition of my newest paintings will be held at VaultNQ.

Really excited to have these paintings on show, can't wait for you all to see. Everyone welcome! From 7pm onwards. 

WIP and studio shots

Working towards an exhibition at VaultNQ at the moment, which I'm calling Everythingism. Those familiar with my work know my inspiration comes from a broad spectrum and I like to put a collection of imagery, symbols, patterns together on the canvas and let them fight it out. The ethos behind my work is constantly developing however, and I've recently come across a little known Russian movement named Everythingism. The idea behind Everythingism was amalgamation of styles and periods, used in a piece of art at the same time, to blur their boundaries. I related to the ideas within this movement, so for now I'll call myself an Everythingist, and present my new paintings in relation to this.


Until the exhibition then, here are some studio shots and glimpses of works in progress.

See you at the show, Weds 30th Jan, 7pm xx
