"LANDSCAPES ARE CULTURE BEFORE THEY ARE NATURE; CONSTRUCTS OF IMAGINATION PROJECTED ONTO WOOD AND WATER AND ROCKS"

SIMON SCHAMA

 

 

 

 

 

My paintings are of oils on unprimed hardboard. They are distillations of water colours done in situ in the Western Isles of Scotland. The continual interchange of these elements - sand, sea, weather and light - is the subject.

I try to maintain a balance between 'seduction' of paint- marks and respect for the subject-matter so both may be simultaneously read and enjoyed. In a similar manner, the layers of paint create both illusion of space, depth and distant and pattern. The paint is applied thinly - brush strokes, drips, splashes and poured paint conveying and amalgamating to create movement and atmosphere to suggest the transience and interdependence of the sea and land.
