A lesson in perspective.
I was invited to a 1000 acre private estate yesterday morning…the owner’s personal wealth is over 100 million pounds.
He came across in our chat as a thoroughly decent chap and I came away feeling slightly overwhelmed by the extraordinary wealth of just one person. How on earth does one cope with such responsibilities?
…he seemed to manage OK…
'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.' Sally-Ann Schilling.
