a new dawn fades

A mixture of paintings from 2006 to 2013 that explore the rich history of painting but engage with the future by evoking the thin brightness of photographic or video images seen on the ubiquitous flat screen monitor. Although they are deeply personal, acting as a vehicle for suppressed memories and emotions from my past, I recognise that this may not be discernible from the title and content of the paintings.

Indeed I have tried to set up an absence or imbalance in the paintings such that they are open to multiple interpretations leaving room for the viewer to draw conclusions about possible meaning.
