Interests
:: I'm mainly figurative representational painter. I have had five one-man shows in London and one in New York. I have also exhibited in Hong Kong, Zurich, Berlin, Milan and Chicago. I show with the Adam Gallery @ 24 Cork Street, London. I tend to work mainly within in a representational frame because my primary interest is the human face and figure. Drawing is at the centre of everything I do and I use most mediums mainly Oil paint, mixed media collage [with gold leaf, wax, varnish, graphite and found materials], Watercolour, and Pencil often on hand-made papers. I sometimes like to combine figurative imagery with abstraction which lends certain works a fragmentary nature. I pay little attention to the contemporary art world at all, let alone the concerns of current art practice :: .......................................................................................................................................
