Selected paintings
The original paintings I currently have chosen to feature in my portfolio:
Details revealing some of the structure on the canvas
Do my image surfaces seem too cluttered? In many ways this is also how I experience our contemporary culture . . . .
Although my paintings may seem to branch off in many directions my fondness for worn, patinated and weathered surfaces runs through them like a common thread: I love to mimic nature's decay processes and have just always been fascinated by hidden layers and traces of use and wear and tear.
My pictures are multi-layered, exactly as I see and experience the reality around us. We humans objectively see the same thing and yet experience something fundamentally different. In this context, art can be an eye opener; more necessary today than ever.
Buying wall art is a bit like buying a new car: you should view the painting in the right setting and be sure you have a good match.
If you are interested in one of my available paintings, I recommend that you initially borrow it for 14 days. At a minimum, you have to see the painting in real life.
Please contact me directly for further arrangements.
