I visited the Tate Modern to see the Paul Klee exhibition at the this year. He was my significant and primary introduction to abstract art in the 1960s and has influenced my work ever since. For me he bridges the gap between free expressionism in abstraction and a considered and scientific analysis of composition. He…
Inescapable. Life is inescapable, we live, we die, we love, we try to find the ways we can fulfil our promise as the days pass by. To find the person that we are, to reach that bright illusive star, to make the most of what we have before this mortal toil has passed. We make…
This is a painting using business cards from Maze, Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant in London. My youngest son worked there as a chef under Jason Atherton. He now works for Sat Bains in Nottingham, to be featured on tonight’s masterchef the professionals on BBC 1. Though his skills in cooking have been due in a large…
SOME WANT LESS. In this world we strive, I guess, and some want more and some want less, and some want what they think they’ve earned and some want more than just returns, and some want all they think is theirs and some want more than they can hope, and some want nothing but a…

The spirit of a nation is indisputably intertwined with its images. Picasso recognised the power of the image of a Bull as a meaningful symbol of a nation at war, his Guernica empowered and inspired a nation to fight against oppression and injustice. I saw the painting in The Reina…
This work was produced in 2011 and is mixed Media on Card, 15x15cm. It was about regrets, those things we didn’t do but perhaps aught to have done, and today thank the lord we didn’t. We will never know if what we did or didn’t do would change the course of our lives, but the…

ALL SAINTS. We can’t all be saints however we try, our moments of wickedness tell us that, however we strive to cover our tracks our moments of wickedness keep coming back.
