Paint

Abstract digital painting of interlocking green, blue, black, white and red shapes, including a central spiky form surrounded by bird-like, plant-like and symbol-like elements, suggesting a dense forest atmosphere.

PAINT brings together abstract artworks, digital paintings, collage and analogue drawings shaped through colour, line, surface, texture and pattern.

The works often begin with marks, fragments, figures, found images, digital surfaces and hand-worked materials. Through drawing, painting, collage, layering, reversal and reworking, forms shift and recur without becoming fully fixed. Digital paintings are made by hand, with colour fields, lines, textures and marks building image-spaces that remain open and unsettled.

These works sit alongside the photographic practice rather than apart from it. They draw from photographic ways of seeing while remaining rooted in painting, drawing and constructed image-making, where surface, accident, ambiguity and reconstruction shape how the images develop.

  • Abstract digital painting dominated by thick strokes of crimson red and cobalt blue over a pale pinkish-beige ground, featuring heavy dark outlines that suggest fragmented architectural or facial structures.

  • Abstract digital painting of two large, pale outlined vessel-like forms set against a deep blue and rust-red background, overlaid with dark grey grid-patterned shapes and thin red contour lines.

  • Square drawing filled with dense black lines, loops and angular fragments that gather against a yellow ground into a broad skull-like form. Smaller face-like and figure-like shapes appear within the crowded surface.

  • Abstract digital painting with an elongated face-like mask or head, perhaps beaked, outlined in bright pink, green and white against vivid red and blue fields with layered gestural marks.

  • Analogue collage-drawing with the word “analog” across a central head-like figure, alongside a collaged smiling mouth, black-and-white eye-like forms, device-like fragments, pointed horn-like forms and areas of red, orange, yellow and turquoise coloured pencil.
