New creative abstract paintings available direct from the North London studio

I’ve been in the studio less than a few weeks now – half on and half off, inbetween working from ‘home’ while the new normal is beginning to creep in with all it’s new quirks and altered routines.

Aside from time to get productive, it’s has also been great to get organised. Followers of my output will know that my work rate is particularly high, and quite often the practical side of my studio work takes the front seat over the administrative side. In particular I’m talking about cataloging, editing and uploading new paintings to the website and shop.

The real struggle is having made something that’s developed from a pure and honest expression of your soul and deciding that it’s time to bid farewell and allow others to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Well great news comrades! I’ve done a bunch of maintenance to the website – removing older sold out paintings and limited editions, a little moving around and prioritising of sections but also some great new paintings are now available that I’m ready to part with.

Oftentimes I’ll chuckle to myself when I hear about that common misconception to do with the ‘artistic struggle’ with regards to knowing when to stop or when a painting is complete. Personally I think this is nonsense. The real struggle is having made something that’s developed from a pure and honest expression of your soul and deciding that it’s time to bid farewell and allow others to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Well awesome news, here’s a great one that I’m excited to share with you all..

A generously sized yet lightweight 162 x 130cm painting on Alluminium stretched Linen.

Using the purest colourway of childhood playfulness and curiosity, this painting is built up with equal measures of the familiar and unfamiliar and recorded in the best artist quality acrylic pigments.

I recently read a letter to the New York Times Art Editor in 1943 that was sent by Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb which I really liked! They wrote..

“The appreciation of art is a true marriage of minds. And in art, as in marriage, lack of consummation is ground for annulment”.

Mark Rothko/Adolph Gottlieb – July 7, 1943

And with this same energy, I’m very much looking forward to this piece providing many happy ever after moments for the new home I’m certain it will shortly find!

I’ll pop a quick video below for further viewing and a link to buy:
