Future Dishes

Paintings held at the edge of figuration and abstraction through semi-open form, keeping recognition in suspension.

150421 Music in VeniceA large pale animal-like figure stretches across the upper centre of a blue-white field, its body interrupted by orange, green and dark strokes. Smaller dark and coloured fragments gather along the lower edge and left side.
150812 Blinking-sportsmenSmall human figures are dispersed across a broad pale field of white, blue, pink and green washes. Their bodies remain legible amid loosely layered strokes, drips and partially erased colour.
150815 Future DishesA broad white field carries separated islands of blue, green, yellow, pink and brown paint. Small figurative fragments, sprayed passages and dripping marks remain discontinuous rather than combining into a single continuous scene.
160222 ShakyA pale field is crossed by scattered coloured fragments, outlined loops and small dark forms. A blue hooded figure sits near the lower right, while a small arched dark shape appears lower left of centre.
160223 The Reeds Close in Your WakeAgainst a pale field, a long orange ridge runs across the upper centre above scattered blue, green and ochre forms. A white vertical shape, small dark figures and loose fragments occupy the lower half.
160224 Fire gathers the houseA predominantly white field holds separated brush marks and colour masses rather than a continuous scene. A dark green-black arch-like form dominates the right side; a long dark horizontal stroke runs along the lower left, while peach, blue, green and pink fragments remain dispersed between them.
160225 TimetableA large black circular mass dominates the centre-right of a pale field. A blue seated figure faces it from the left, surrounded by smaller green, pink and ochre marks.
160227A pale field contains a red angular mass at left, a dark grey-black enclosure at upper right and a blue hooded figure near the lower edge. Smaller yellow, green and black strokes sit between these larger zones.
160228A mostly pale vertical field is interrupted by a large white-grey central form, blue and green passages, and several small dark human figures moving across the lower left and right. Thin yellow and pink strokes punctuate the open ground.
