Current Works
The paintings shown here form an evolving body of work centred on intimacy, human connection, and the quiet language of touch. Using sand and acrylic, the surfaces combine texture, depth, and luminosity to create figures that are both universal and emotionally immediate.
Proximae
Medium: Sand and acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 90 cm (w) x 90 cm (h) x 4 cm (d)
Price: £2,995
Selected for Delta Laboratory Exhibition, BBA Gallery, Berlin, August 4-9
The painting invites reflection on the complexities of human closeness - the ways in which we can simultaneously give and seek comfort, hold and be held and where strength and vulnerability are not opposites. The figures are drawn together in a moment - a pause in time where one offers steady presence and the other leans into it, not in collapse, but in trust.
By shaping the painting from sand and acrylic into the appearance of a rock-like surface the painting acts like a symbolic moment in time where the two figures are encapsulated in their shared quiet contemplative space.
