Welcome !
I am an artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. On this website you can find out a bit more about me, browse through a selection of my figurative oil paintings, and read some of my thoughts about my work.
For several years now I have been working on an extensive series of figurative paintings under the title Art and Not-art, focusing on the relationships between people, artworks and architecture, in particular in the context or national museums and art galleries.
Recently I have explored the symbolic role of the picture frame as a gateway to another world, a fictional "artistic realm" created by the painting. In these works I have depicted figures and objects apparently entering or emerging from framed paintings.
I have also looked at the effect of removing works of art from their usual context, placing them in unfamiliar environments such as seas, skies or deserts.
My work can currently be seen at Art Exposure Gallery Glasgow, 63 Tay Street, Perth and the Beresford Gallery, Ayr.
Forthcoming shows:
February 2010:
Hawke and Hunter, Picardy Place, Edinburgh
March 25-28 2010:
