My MA show private view is this Friday 18th September (6-9) would be lovely to see you all, below is a selection of images from the show but briefly there are fifteen landscape paintings all painted throughout the last eight weeks in Ashcombe Park. This is the written entry in the show catalogue:-
My work is concerned with portraying a personal “sense of place” found in the most ordinary of locations.
This series of paintings were all initiated from observation and portray a very particular geographical location, in this case defined by the boundaries of a local park.
By purposefully restricting the location I have become increasingly familiar and sensitive to the nature of this place and the type of image that it solicits me to produce.
The limited size of the majority of the canvasses necessitated a focussed approach to finding and painting images. This has resulted in the disclosure of particular qualities that resonate with my experience of this location. Once identified these qualities became the subject matter for larger work.
This process, through repetition, has allowed the resulting fragmentary images to accumulate to be a record of my response to a particular place, over a period of time, shaped by experience, and revealing my engagement with the world around me.
Come along!!

I came to your MA show today and had a good look at your work. Really like it and found it very affecting. I like the limitations you have put on yourself and through that simplicity have come up with an eloquent body of work. I might even buy one, but money’s a bit tight at the moment (I’ll let you know).
Definitely a rich piece of art.
A bientot!
Thank you, very happy that you enjoyed the show, often felt sometimes like “a fish out of water” due to being asked to relate my work to “contemporary art practice” but enjoyed making this body of work and feel proud of what I’ve show, hope you keep in touch with the blog, I’ve started a series of still life paintings, with a similar set of restrictions and will post them as soon as a suitable body of work has been done, must say again, thank you, it’s very gratifying to receive comments from those, who appreciate what one does!!
