Twenty Four Hours

Oil on Canvas

2013

105 x 140 cm

  In this series of three paintings I am individually exploring the three genres of landscapes I am involved with, the city, the natural and the metaphysical. The sole aim for this series was to not only continue the exploration of techniques that enable the deconstruction of imagery through a process of fragmentation and manipulation, but essentially to experiment using these processes on any genre of image in order to help me to push the deconstruction techniques further. Although these paintings derive from completely different sources I find that I can still make connections between them. The important factor within Twenty Four Hours was the iconic nature of the source material, if the deconstruction is successful then origin and connotation of this, at least at first, would be masked be the alternate view created within the surface of the canvas.

American Skies

Oil on Canvas

2013

70 x 100 cm

    This painting is part of a series of works that relate to each other but also can stand alone.  The major breakthrough with this piece came when reflecting on an unintentional effect that had been created during the painting process. This painting encompasses the fragmentation and deconstruction of imagery I have been working on throughout this series and want to take forward into new work.
