The Artistic Urge from Prehistory to the Present.

I’ve got an ad in The Cut booklet for an art class I will be holding there. Everybody welcome. The New Cut is a centre of the arts in Halesworth, Suffolk.

My artwork on display at Subterranean Boulevard Gallery in Ipswich.

I am pleased to announce that I received a first class degree with honours in fine art and now have work up for exhibit in the Waterfront Gallery, Pretty’s and in Subterranean Boulevard Gallery in Ipswich. I am also hopefully going to be running an art class at the Cut in Halesworth.

I believe these three paintings show a progression through my artistic experience. 1. “Laguz” meaning water, emotion and the unconscious. Working towards expressing my psyche. 2. “Hagalaz” the storm and facing primal forces beyond our control (i.e the stress of the oncoming final exhibition) and  3. “Reconcilliation at 4am” where I have come back to a state of peace with my painting and understand when it is good to relax a little and know when to leave an artwork as finished.

I have finally finished painting my wall and have hung my artwork. I was debating whether to put up three or four canvases. Three was always the obvious choice but it seemed a shame to miss some of my art out. I had asked for a larger area so that I could hang more of my artworks. Unfortunately I have only one wall, however I am pleased with how the selected paintings work together. It is definitely better with more space around the artworks. The three paintings chosen are my most recent works and were all painted in a more relaxed fashion than some of the others. They just worked from the offset.
