Art

The amalgam of styles that feature in the galleried compositions are wholly in tune with my persona on the given time I spend pouring the paint, moving the canvas, distorting the flow and forcing paints to resist, fracture and rebel against each other.

The resultant contortion provides for hidden imagery either in the reaction and bleeding of paint or on the focus of the negative space and the illusion under Ultraviolet light by simply teasing the senses when the lights are turned off.

All the compositions are dear to me but the freedom of expression and uncertainty are what excites me, the pictures are for that moment.

My collection of Abstract art provides you with a play on imagery that ought to be readily associated with meadows, wildflowers and some say coral.

The pieces require neither analysis nor dissection. If I was to be challenged as to my mood at the time I would resoundingly state that they offer a true sense of carelessness and affection.

Suffice to say the pictures are an abundance of colour and should excite the eye and lift the spirits of anyone who gazes at their merriment and joy.

I challenge the viewer not to smile or at least feel uplifted by their content

It has proven to be the most challenging stage of my art so far. These creations are purposely targeted to take artworks ‘off the wall,’ and challenge the viewer to have these as focal pieces that stand bold and free.

Correctly positioned, the pieces provide an invitation to view not only the artistry of the painted canvas, but also the intensity and energy that is captured and suspended in the distorted rope that characterises each piece. The unique framing, tucks and folds offer a third dimension.

Laced & Lashed invites you to view the art from different angles. It seeks to dispense with mundane frame mounts. The making of the frame, and tracing the binding and corsetry provides me with a deeper affinity to the pieces.
