About the artwork

This abstract painting derives from photographs taken of distressed metalwork along Brighton Seafront. I was interested in the intervention, and ultimate dominance, of the natural elements over the industrial constructions of mankind, producing a beautiful organic form as the metal is taken back to its oxidised state. The paint is applied with a palette knife as well as brush, and often pared back to the bare canvas itself so the underlying texture is evident. The canvas stretcher is a unique bevelled construction, placing less stress on the canvas, and the image continues onto these receding places reinforcing the painting as a three dimensional object rather than simple image.
