Art on his Mind



Clive Jennings - Fitzrovia Flaneur went to extra lenghts this week and squeezed me in before jetting off to NY, he made the trip up North into serious Witch country and lucky for me he hopes to dazzle audiences in London this coming November with his genuine love for art and belief that it should been seen! Clive always doing things in his effortless style, below viewing the new work in my studio and meeting Montee my studio tech



The new show will take shape in the spectacular and now thriving Fitzrovia Gallery and my work will be further enhanced by showing along side of the fabulous artist Machiko Edmondson, giving our work a new lease of life in this enchanting space, Fitzrovia being one of the hottest art scenes in London!













Dinner at my house!

Clive was a delight to have as a guest at our house and he's not a chap that shies away from a bit of fun.....well he is a C.A.C member!

On the Bright Side of Life



This Blog is dedicated to my wonderful friend John Baldwin and his new works that await grand exposer this coming October for his solo show at the famous Chelsea Arts Club, and I went along to the Dukes gallery in Lancaster to have a sneak peak at the first of these colourful works that exist on their own terms, each impressed with its own self-contained reality.

Abstract Expressionism, the defining characteristics of these new works are those of implied energy and   visual drama in a cast of unruly and irrepressible attention that unlocks new ideas, colour is heightened, the palette is extended thus deepening the expressive argument and drawing in paint becomes more assertive.

John's paintings freely admit a range of allusion through shapes which jostle for attention but theses new players now command the colour stage, spilling sensation and the apprehension of time and space into the gallery demanding engagement with their presence.

Well done John on a fantastic show and I can't wait to see the rest of these marvellous works in the Autumn!
