Shroud Haemorrhage: New Abstract Painting

Shroud Haemorrhage is my largest abstract to date. The layers in this picture have been built up over several months. Paint has been applied and then scraped off when dried. There is texture to the final painting in places. The painting is about the non-seperation of body and mind and how the idea of self is a function of the physical body. Despite this being a fundamentally athiest painting, "shroud" like areas of the canvas were revealed as I worked on them and and as I liked these aesthetically I left them in.

Note: This is painted on a slim canvas (depth about 1cm). the sides are painted black and its ready to hang, but you may prefer to get this painting framed, the choice is yours.

This is the painitng that I am currently working on. Building up layers of paint and removing painting with scratching and abrasion. This is similarly to early paintings that I will post next for comparison.

Four Score Years and Ten

Four Score Years and Ten is one of my more personal paintings, taking several weeks to develop with multiple layers - it expresses personal beliefs about mortality, religion and being human.  As with other paintings and sculptures in this series its purpose is to remind myself and hopefully others,  to cease the moment and make the most of relatively short time that we experience consciousness as a bi-product of our biological function.

In Situ

This is a personal reflection on the frailty of the human body and the inevitable decline programmed into our DNA. In contrast to this we have so many opportunities of love and pleasure and at times we transcend our physicality. The message of this painting is ultimately positive and on every viewing we are reminded to "seize the day"

Figurative Painting: Two Shrouded Figures

This weekend I have been mainly finishing off other paintings, I have a Charity painting to submit by early May and I have also been updating my Minigallery and OC portfolios. This afternoon I had the urge to try a figurative painting. This is an area I have not done much of before as I mainly work in abstract, sculpture and landscapes.

In a very spontaneous and quick session I produced this painting. I put the paint on the board with brush and palette knife almost without thinking and certainly without planning. On completion I felt quite emotionally drained.

This evening I have been staring at it and the more I stare at the the more I see, there are more than two figures lurking in this painting!

What do you think?

This weekend I have been mainly finishing off other paintings and doing promo stuff. This afternoon I had the urge to attempt a figurative painting. This is an area I have not done much before, I stick to mainly, abstract, sculpture and of course landscapes.

In a very spontaneous and quick session I produced this painting. I put the paint on the board with brush and palette knife almost without thinking and certainly without planning. This one scared me a little, after painting it I felt an overwhelming emotional release.

This evening I have been staring at it and the more I stare at the the more I see, there are more than two figures lurking in this painting!
