About the artist:
I find an attractive melancholy in street corners and buildings that exist within the urban landscape. Where we may pass by without a second glance, I am drawn to the unique architecture of the city, capturing the singular beauty found in buildings from another time as modern life continues to evolve around them. I try to create scenes that hold an almost cinematic quality. Buildings take centre stage, offering a glimpse into empty rooms through curtain-less windows, evoking a sense of loneliness that is inherent in any large city. But the stillness also invites contemplation, of the lives once lived here and the new lives that continue to do so. Preliminary sketches are made on location. These drawings are then worked into larger paintings on canvas, wood panels and paper. My paintings were featured in a recent Sky Arts edition of Inside Art. The episode profiled the work of the East London Group.
