New Work Summer 2017

I still have work on display at PS Mirabel for their 'Manifest' Open call show (for info on opening and location please see http://www.psmirabel.co.uk/ ), but in the meantime i've been busy working on some new pieces for exhibition in a future solo show/project.
Pictured are two paintings, the first is a continuation of the Perspex pieces (View 6 - The Facility) size A3 and the second titled 'Heatmap' Oil on Panel 50cm x 50cm. Alongside these I have been using my work to develop some basic animations using blender as an animation rendering tool. Now I don't profess to be any great film maker but I'm happy with the results so far. There is audio in mind to be added but as I'm not too sure about legality of using 'sound-bites' I'll leave them out for now.

Manifest 2017

Summer season is upon us and its time for the Manifest Arts Festival 2017
(https://www.manifestartsfestival.com/)  and I will be participating in two shows.
Firstly I have had two works selected for 'PS Mirabel Open Call' event titled 'Small World', all works in the show must measure under 20cm x 20cm. My works are titled 'Flotsam' and 'Jetsam' (pictured below) and continue my recent theme of works based upon macro photography, cartography and geophysics (amongst a number of other subjects).
The show lasts for the whole of the Manifest event and into August, but for more info and show times please see the PS Mirabel website (http://www.psmirabel.co.uk/).
The second event is the 'Bankley Studios' members show, titled 'Echo Chamber'. This is a diversion from the traditional salon format and  members have been asked to consider their time in the studio, the rituals and practices that take place and through a series of questions respond, through written statements and objects from their surroundings. Its been an interesting process coming up with a response and I look forward to see the results at the opening on Thursday 6th July .There is also an open studio day on saturday 8th July from 12-4pm to support this. Again for more info on opening times and location please see the 'Bankley' website and social media (http://www.bankley.org.uk/ ) and hope to see you all there. Cheers.

New Work and GM Art Prize 2017

I've finally finished the third painting in the series called 'The Facility' so here is 'View 3'

 

 

As before the piece is A3(size), Oil and Enamel paint on grey Perspex. The other two pieces in the series as mentioned in my previous post are currently featuring in the  'GM Art Prize'  pop up exhibition (for all the short listed works). The prize winners were announced the other night  and nobody could complain about the results, all were worthy of their awards and it's a great show. The exhibition is open for public viewing at specific times (presumably as it is in a working building) at 'The Chamber of Commerce' Deanesgate, Manchester, until June. For opening times and how to arrange a viewing please see the prize's website:  http://www.gmartsprize.co.uk/
