About this artwork
I work primarily in painting, often combining layered paint and mixed media on canvas and wood panels. My practice emphasizes surface — built up, abraded and reworked until pigments, collage and marks coexist as evidence of a long-making process.
My work examines fractured identity, authority and the rituals through which people perform and disguise themselves. I am drawn to faces and figures as sites where interior states and public roles collide:… gestures, masks and symbolic objects recur as markers of power, self-reflection and unresolved history. Influences range from expressionist and surrealist vocabularies to vernacular ritual imagery and outsider mark-making; I draw on these traditions to press familiar forms into new, tense configurations. Empires can fall and do as history tells us!

Credentials
- Works on commission
I am a seasoned painter with an MA in Fine Art from UAL London, primarily uses oil on canvas and heavy art paper, enriched by decades of experience as a creative in the London advertising world. His work employs narrative-driven imagery with social and political undertones, characterised by humour, irony, ambiguity, and quiet visual tension rather than overt statements. My art invites viewers into open-ended interpretation, conveying a blend of subtle wit and reflective ambiguity, encouraging emotional discovery and personal resonance.
A lifelong commitment to Art, I spent 6 formative years in formal art training in the 1960's, laying the foundation for a lifetime of visual storytelling. . 45 years in advertising as an artist, followed by an MA in Fine Art Printmaking, at Camberwell School of Art, refining my art practice, graduating 2009. 10 years devoted to developing my painting, until I was satisfied as to the standard of my work-born of discipline & purpose.
