  • Missing Range

    Sometime that which is not said creates more of an impact

    There is a stillness even in the confusion

  • Latest creation.

    This is my latest creation I haven’t got a name for it, are there any suggestions?

    What I wanted to attempt with this piece is to get the central cube to hover.

    I have always been drawn towards designs and images that play with the perception of space within my mind.

    When I wore a younger mans clothes  I remember I visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam

    there I saw an unassuming work of art. Remarkable in the fact

    that when you walked past it, it gave the illusion

    that there was a fly in the room.

    The artist and the title have long since passed out of mind

    but the image has stayed with me a truly powerful experience.

    As I walk down this path called life I oft heard

    it said that that artist or that piece of work

    was to me so spiritual and moving.  Am I blind, why has nothing moved me so, setting up a vibration of understanding

    and appreciation?

    I can appreciate technical ability

    I can appreciate the energy and effort to compile the work,

    I can appreciate that it is clever,

    I can comprehend the technical nuances

    and yet sometime I find it difficult to engage emotionally

    that is until  I came across the outstanding work

    of Fred Sandbach August 29, 1943 – June 23, 2003

    a minimalist that really altered the space within my head

    Extract of Genesis

    An extract (a few words, and a sample of the larger work) from the beginning of Genesis is an attempt to demonstrate one example of a hidden patterns.

    to my knowledge this has not been done before,
    “Seduced, the Silence embraced the rhythm and danced a rhapsody divine”. my own words

  • “Simplistic Complexity”

    “Evening Entrance to Cockburn Street  – Edinburgh”

     is the latest picture based on the concept of

    “Simplistic Complexity”

    A  concept has been distilling over a number of years now.

    entrance to cockburn street edinburgh
    “Evening Entrance To Cockburn Street”
    – Edingburgh

    This concept is on the premise that we use vertical line to make sense of our surroundings and to orientate.

    The colour information is distilled and the vertical lines added in high contrast.

    The concept grew out of a series of painting  called City Signatures which in turnt gave birth to

    Edinburgh cityscapes and finally “Evening Entrance to Cockburn Street = Edinburgh”   is the latest

    the journey continues.

    Does it have a presence ?

    The press had taken photographs, conducted interviews,
    and the invitations sent out for the private viewing,
    Interest had been expressed a good turnout was anticipated.
    Eventually the big day arrived, the studio had provided nibbles and wine
    unknowingly, the gallery had sold all four of the featured exhibits.
    The buyers, in a hurry left for London  with the paintings before the opening.

    The exhibition went ahead with four blank spaces all rather embarrassing, but none the less a talking point.

    Do you have one to share?
