Go West, Young Man
Here are some works i made during a trip out west in 2008. I love hitting the highway and heading west. Its something i've always done as a way of finding new inspiration - at the heart of it all i think i might be a landscape painter, yet i rarely paint anything that resembles a traditional landscape painting. Getting away... I wish i could do it more often - i can and i should. No excuses really. Looking back at these works it occurs to me that I spend a lot of my life on the road these days, but not enough time venturing. I think its time to hit the road again.
'Hit the road Jack' was exhibited as part of Peter Fay's 'Licorice Allsorts' in 2009 at King St Gallery on William.
Tyres, milk crates, black gesso, gouache and oil on cardboard and plywood.
Some new work
Here are some new pieces i exhibited recently in a group show titled 'go-figure...' at Sheffer Gallery in Darlington. The show was curated by Yiwon Park and Shannon Field. Other artists in the show included Peter Nelson, Scott Millington, Seth Birchall, Wenmin Li, Kritsel Smits, Mills & Morte, Gemma Messih, Yiwon Park and Shannon Field. Hopefully soon i will put together a more comprehensive post with everyone's work included in the show along with the publication and catalogue essay. In the meantime, i hope you enjoy the shots i took of my work this afternoon.
