Biografia
I am a North West based painter who explores self expression through the stimulus of everyday sounds and sights.
My work draws on the precedents of the New York \school of abstraction and the work of artists such as Kasimir Malevich, John Cage and Wassily Kandinsky, renowned for his synaesthetic works connecting music and paint and who said “Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings – the artist is the hand that plays touching one key or another to cause a vibration in the soul.”
My paintings are the result of an automatic response to external stimuli and through repeated layering result in highly abstracted outcomes. My aim throughout a recent residency was to produce an experimental and creative body of work in response to the St.Helens' environs using a variety of shaped supports in an attempt to determine how shape and colour influence the viewer.
