ATMOSPHERIC PAINTINGS
PIGMENT AND GLASS PAINTINGS
“The paintings imagine the hidden world of air which is exposed to us by instants of colour: light reflecting and refracting. It is about capturing the atmospheric momentum: the invisible flux that circulates around us”

“The surface of the work is a space of exploration for the atmospheric condition through a painterly process I call ‘supersaturation’. Raw pigments and glass powder are added layer by layer until the work becomes supersaturated by colour.
The process is slow and the fluid instantiated by the chemistry of colour (the magic!).
The surfaces become very sculptural due to the thickness of the material which also continues around the edge of the stretcher.”

“Once supersaturated, the painted surfaces become interactive as the reflective pigments change their shiny appearance depending on the angle of light and the viewpoint. So in a sense the work always renews itself. ”
