I’ll be dropping the rest of my work off this week and next at…
The Nathaniel Hughson Gallery
27 John Street North
Hamilton ON, L8R 1H1
for my solo exhibition Under the Sun
Opening June 6, 2013 and running until June 29th
Join me at the opening reception (June 6th) from 6 -10pm or for the art crawl June 14th.
Much of my work is circular. I see the patterns of people, cities and natural elements overlapping in concentric circles.
My oil painting process includes many layers of translucent glazes built up with heavy textured paint and touches of brilliant colour. My paintings unfold in lines and shapes and areas of light and dark as forms emerge and withdraw into the shallow background. My themes, often based on my poetry and watercolours, take second place to the surface of the canvas, which arrests the viewer’s focus in a play of pattern and texture. Check out collections in the top header for galleries of my work and the sidebar for recent news.
Overcast, oil on canvas, 4 x 8′, $5000.
