Review

"The artist observes and records beauty in the least likely of places, such as the oily grey mud and waters of a London river where a frond of seaweed drifts by and occasional vivid colours of a passing blue buoy or a red balloon. Industrial shapes of cranes and gas works emerging from fogs of silvers, golds and greys. He includes a passing helicopter, seagulls chatter and a plane as soundtrack for his gentle observation. In his etchings the contrasts are dramatic in a different way, the mountains and cliffs of Ireland stand against the tactile softness of wet sand and seaweed or the luminosity of sea and sky. In Dreamfields he has used double exposure on film to create ghostly landscape images. I get the impression of an artist who is sharply observant, but find no hint of criticism in what he observes, only a patient watchfulness. His work can be hypnotically serene." JUDY RUSSELL - POET

Continuing the theme of Dead & Alive trees this A3 charcoal, graphite, pencil drawing is more classical in composition with the lighter sculptural form of the dead tree foregrounding the darker shape and foliage of the alive tree

Twin trunks give several skeletal twists and turns as they rise starkly into a cloudless sky

Deliberate echoes of old masters in an English landscape

Continuing the truncated trees theme a recent visit to Shorne Woods meeting and photographing skeletal and sculptural trees provides the material for this charcoal, graphite, and pencil drawing in progress. Part of my personal geography and orthopaedic journey, truncated and twisted trees speak to me of the dynamic relationship between us and nature and the ways in which we represent this relationship.

Editioning ‘The Guardian’
The 8th iteration of my Wanted:Dead&Alive suite of etchings
.
The sculptural and skeletal nature of these truncated trees within the walls of one of London’s most popular Royal Parks are often overlooked…
But not ‘The Guardian’ as it sits indomitably in front of the Pavilion Cafe at the very centre of Greenwich Park
.
Shaped by tree surgeons in a highly controlled landscape these dead and decaying trees serve as (Un)Romantic figures
.
They speak to me of my own personal geography of orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation
.
I have hopefully imbued these trees with stark, heroic qualities by putting them front and centre in a minimal and often barren landscape. In the background I have given these Stoics a chorus of supporting trees to emphasise that we are never alone in our struggles even if it often feels like it
.
Please DM me for further info and details on this etching or any in the suite which are available to view on my website. Link in Bio.

Editioning the 7th iteration of Wanted: Dead&Alive, a suite of etchings focussing on the truncated trees in Greenwich Park. Imbued with personality and character these sculptural and skeletal figures speak to me of a shared history and a personal geography. This tree has the appearance of a signaller or sentinel

Happy New Year!
Highlights of 2024, publishing @rosywilson1 poetry collection Memoryscapes was probably #1 but it’s been a good year @arthublondon studios creating new drawings and etchings, this year it has been mostly trees (again)
Thanks to all those that have supported me and allowed me to continue this artists path and embrace its challenges in the new year.

2nd state proofs of new etchings…
.
Continuing the Wanted:Dead&Alive series of softground etchings. The truncated trees that populate Greenwich park are often overlooked but their skeletal and sculptural forms have been made by human intervention as well as entropic decay. They exist in a kind of purgatory waiting for the final axe (or chainsaw) but while they hold themselves high transcendence is assured.

Lackendarragh, Glencree
Pencil on paper, A3
.
Lackendarragh stream flows through the picturesque valley of Glencree, Co. Wicklow, a world of tree, moss, stone, bracken. Populated by sheep, roe deer, midges. The tinkling sound of brook muffled under summer growth, which broken boughs of truncated oaks straddle. A Romanticised Ireland, captured over a century ago by the recently rediscovered Irish composer Ina Boyle. A more contemporary Glencree piece accompanied my drawing.

Wip - New Drawing - Scaling up continues from A5 sketch to A3 drawing. It’s a slow process as more detail required and decisions made. Photographs taken on site help with tonal references and missing information. The buzzard will have to wait.

Wip - New Drawing - Scaling up a sketch of a peaceful valley scene made in the summer. Midges meant I had to work quickly but now in the studio I can take my time. Debating whether to include the young buzzard that flared upstream, far to quick to draw.
