Artwork Description

A classic people watching exercise... me musing on peoples intent, their state of mind, where they might be headed, are they late?... do they care? Part of my ‘Sketches Gone Awry’ series, these paintings are a cross between urban pop art, life drawings and a sprinkle of surrealism. I’m fascinated with the conversation between architecture and human development. This is me sitting in cafes watching the world go by, collating sketches from observation then taking that to the canvas and brewing a cocktail community around a theme. I’m preserving the observational element with sketches made from paint markers and fusing them with layers of colour in semi-gloss. These pieces are best described as a rabbit hole of story telling.

"I'm about the narrative. I want my images to unfold… invite you to explore."

This is me... sitting in cafes watching the world go by, collating sketches from observation then taking that to the canvas and brewing a cocktail community around personal experiences. I’m preserving the observational element and fusing it with intuitive imagery and colour. Ultimately I'm indulging my fascination with human development, relationships and community evolution. I strive to engage with a restricted palette, simplified imagery and a playful approach to common tropes and perceptions.

To give you a brief background, my wife and I currently work as full time Artists in our studios in beautiful Port Douglas. I’ve spent most of my professional career working in television and print media as an editor, camera operator and graphic designer. Much of this has been based out of the U.K., working and travelling with my amazing wife, Cheryl, an insanely talented professional artist of more than 25 years. She opened my eyes to Antoni Tapes, Ben Nicholson, Ralph Steadman, Cy Twombly and John Olsen, the list is endless and the experiences are priceless. I can credit her for encouraging me to take my musings more seriously and stepping out of the shadows - have a squizz at her BT profile Cheryl Harrison MA!

So, I hope you enjoy my paintings. They are meticulously executed and are of a quality that will hold their own in any space, contact me if you have any questions.
