Swirling (Online Exhibition)

Ecstasy and uplift, the euphoric dance performed by my brush; the material of my choreography is not the actually moving figures of dancers, with all their range or gestures. My dancers are gesturing lines and the colours of my painting, and by which I also touch the heart.
The work is not a copy of life; no mirror held up to the outward appearances that so often mask the inward distress. Rather, the art form has cut through to the vitality beneath and interpenetrating, enchanting, ravishing and colour combinations. Pure rhythmic movement: the thrust and sweep of lines, spreading as if from an energizing spiral core in endless permutations and combinations. Each perfectly organised in relation to the other. Sheer beauty of movement expressed in terms of poise, grace, and elan vital. I give full expression to my effortlessly mutating forms. Technique? To a ballet of the heart’s needle. The points and punctuation on the picture plane now dripping, now rising into free flight; now gravitating then galvanising around a centre. I paint the fabric of life, from the inner depths of my consciousness as I experience success, restraint and peace. Layering, grading, texturing and highlights have remained the keystones of my work in the recent years. Experimenting with varying tools, I have delivered works that fill the length and breadth of the canvas in an unending continuum of tones and textures, like a universe laid bare, as ready for speculation as for meditation, exuding a magnificence that stretches from consciousness to infinity, fragments lifted in frames as works of art. Colours are muted, tinted with gold and silver, expressions of success, growth and fulfillment, like a magic carpet transcending the clouds. It must undoubtedly have been an exhilarating and rejuvenating experience, externalised in paintings, progressively better composed, emanating the calm, balance and equanimity exuding necessarily from within
