I can’t always update you on what I’m doing day-to-day, but I’ll do my best to keep you informed of what I’m up as often as I can. For example, my paintings are often time-consuming and so changes are subtle and slow. Nevertheless, just to keep you hooked on to my fascinating website, here’s what’s going on now…
- I’ve just finished my latest painting; it’s called ‘The Hypnos Bedroom’ and it shows a room in my house (see ‘gallery 1’). This painting isn’t named after the manufacturer of the bed that you see but because of the ancient Greek bronze that’s behind it. This painting will be for sale once it’s been varnished and framed and after I’ve had it professionally photographed, but this won’t be for a while, maybe not until the next Chichester Open Studio event in May this year (See below). I haven’t worked out its price for it yet but I will try to keep the price down as much as possible. As always, please remember two things – firstly that this is my job and not a hobby, and secondly whatever price it is this’ll be far cheaper if you buy it from me directly than if you bought a painting of such quality from a gallery or dealer!
- I will be taking part in the next Chichester Open Studios event on the 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th May. Please see their website to see more details – Chichester Open Studios – Art Trail, West Sussex This event is where the public can visit my studio and talk to me about my work, good examples of which I’ll have on show, and these will be available to buy. As part of the build up to this event I am in the process of doing a few new and affordable paintings of local scenes.
- My medium-to-long term aim is to have an exhibition of my best recent work in a gallery, and the search for this gallery goes on. I want to show the work in a good location and somewhere that I can trust and that is reasonable with their financial terms. Too many galleries have a dog and lamppost attitude towards artists and I am hopeful that wherever I show my work can be the start of a constructive and mutually respectful symbiotic business relationship. If any owner of such a gallery is interested in this then please contact me and make an appointment to see me and the work for themselves.
I will be posting videos about my work and other art here later, but meanwhile, in case you’ve not seen it, here is a little film based on my photographs taken in Poland in 2016. This is not about art. WARNING – this does contain some upsetting images: .
