Contemporary Portraiture in Oils
I find painting portraits endlessly fascinating and particularly love painting people with interesting or unusual faces and expressions.
I am comfortable painting from good quality photographs. Photo quality, interesting levels of light and shade and the subject's expression all help to influence reference selection.
Whilst my preferred medium is oils, I do experiment with different techniques, from building up layers to a more alla prima approach, depending on the desired outcome, time and style preference.

‘The Flying Man’ – Contemporary Sculpture
This sculpture will be on show during the Surrey Sculpture Society ‘Art In The Garden’ show at The Savill Garden, Windsor Great Park, Berkshire late September to November 2021.
This piece was constructed in stainless steel and concrete and the original is displayed outside my studio in Sussex. Now available as a limited edition of 5 in bronze cast by the Talos Foundry. This sculpture works well when displayed on a plinth where the feeling of movement comes alive. The bronze hand has been welded to the steel ring and the weight is carefully distributed to provide stability, however in a goodish breeze the figure gently moves which I find adds to the power of this piece.

‘The Winged Man’ – Contemporary Sculpture
I have noticed that many sculptors create winged creatures and I can see why. The wings give lots of opportunities to express shapes that carry emotional responses. I bent 10mm rebar for the the armature welding each piece carefully, knowing that I was going to reveal the edge detail in the final bronze. The clay work came reasonably easily for the wings but I struggled with the chest until I exaggerated the ribbing detail. This piece has been cast by The Milwyn Foundry in London, with the final patina by Alex Davies, which is a classic Henry Moore verdigris colour and texture. It shimmers in many lights revealing many facets of detail and textures. I know as an artist its very bad form to be ‘self congratulatory!’ but I absolute love this piece. This will be on show during the first two weeks of March in London.

‘The Boxer’ – Contemporary Sculpture
On show at the Rossocinabro Gallery, Rome
At the Monat Gallery Madrid from May
Some I can appreciate feel boxing is a barbaric contest, however when contested at a high level the power movement and skill can take this sport into an art form. I extended the left arm and sculpted it artificially longer than it would be naturally to emphasis the jab! The pose is defensive but is still suggestive of victory in the making! Those who are following my work will notice that I rarely sculpt the feet in detail. My preference is to depict the legs suggestive of tree limbs and trunks help the composition remain tight. Cast by The Milwyn Foundry in London with the final patination with rich gold highlights against the darkness of the undulating forms of the body.
