OPEN STUDIO
A Spring Exhibition - Celebrating Colour and Renewal
Open Studio - A Spring Exhibition is a celebration of colour, life and renewal. The included works are an ongoing study of paintings which explore various forms of reflections, colour exploration and the relation between people and paper. Many of these works are still works in progress. All work in this exhibition are pieces that took me on a personal journey and were made for this exhibition. All works are available. Price list follows the exhibition.

"Paper, by virtue of its intended function, has a relationship with the human need to communicate with others, to direct emotion, thoughts, values and knowledge. With or without obvious markings upon its surface, crumpled and discarded or particularly arranged, there is an understanding that a piece of paper has been created and influenced in content, form and gesture by its previous handler. Paper is made for our manipulation, and my work explores this relationship."

Exploring colour
Many of the works created over the past years explore greyscale. What may not be evident to the the viewer is that all they greys used in these works are developed through mixing colours (not black and white). Grey will change colour depending on neighbouring colours, becoming warmer or cooler with slight variations. This series pushes the play on colour, with seemingly monochromatic oranges, iridescent silvers and gold foil reflections, mixed with traditional grey made with colour theory techniques.
Most of the pieces included in this exhibition have been created between January 2022 and today. Many of the ideas for these paintings have been in-development as sketches for over two years and are finally allowed to live, fully developed, on canvas.

Light and Colour - Lighting is incredibly important in and I want to apologize for the lighting difficulties I experienced during my photoshoot.
Creation
Creation is a multi-step process. Any pattern or text present is imagined and then created by me. Pieces such as Unstructured, begin as a diagram notation in my sketchbook. I develop sketches and expand on the idea until I feel that it expresses its intention. Next, a still life is created and photographed for reference material. The painting process itself explores the photographic reference while allowing the physical characteristics of the paint to play with light, texture and colour.
Reflective Pause, 30" x 30", Oil on Canvas, SOLD
