Light Box II

This is the second of internal views of a box that contains light. The text is created by printing out the words and then cutting them out with a knife before dabbing paint over the top. It’s not exactly handwritten, but it creates neat text in paint. “LIFE. Rise the next day. Light the path. […]

Light of Life

Following on from “Light Humbling“, this is the red version. “LIGHT. which ____ the darkness, but we have the light of life. Lead the way for the lost. Illuminate the soul.”

Light Box I

The idea of creating a world inside a box was the inspiration for this work; imagining looking into a box to see light captured inside. This artwork was destroyed to create further artworks, as the board was quite heavy and was difficult to hang. “Struggling out. Exposing Truth. Shine Out. Shine Out. Shine Out. Shine […]

King of the Jews

“CRUCIFY HIM. But Jesus did not say anything. ‘I am not guilty of this mans death. You are the ones who are causing it. Clean Me. Are you the KING OF THE JEWS? Jesus answered ‘Those are your words.”“That old rugged cross, bearing the sins of all. The curtain in the TEMPLE was town into […]

Freedom

My first mixed media artwork, with acrylic and wire netting stretched over the top of it to exaggerate the juxtaposition of freedom. “FREEDOM Freedom. Free will. Glimpse. TASTE OF FREEDOM. A GLIMPSE. Yet restricted by what goes beyond. Unknown.”“FREEDOM. DREAMS ARE FREE. Dream to be free. Beyond the WIRE FENCE. FREEDOM. FREEDOM.”

Created

My first and only self portrait with the juxtaposition between me as the creator of the artwork, while also acknowledging my creator. “Unlike you, I AM unable to talk to my creator. AS ART I hang here waiting TRYING TO CRY OUT TO HIM. You on the other hand have a voice. YOU HAVE A […]

Where Water Meets Land

Silver and black paint, mixed in with some green to create the stormy waves, the text pierces the sky like rain clouds and the eery silhouette of the silver hills hovers on the horizon. “Where water meets land shore and seabed merge. created leant to all of us for a short time in the eye […]

Weather Or Not

My first exploration into glossy enamel paint and mixing and matching finishes to create different layers on the canvas. The stencils were printed out on the computer, cut out manually and then dabbed on with silver paint.

This Thing I Do

This work I did for another friend at art school; we challenged each other to create a painting in the other person’s style, which is why this work is slightly different to others I have created. “One Love. One God. One Way. It’s this thing I do; Paint the drop of inspiration in light, drawing […]

The Unknown

Strips of canvas glued to a board allowed for a series of individual landscapes placed on top of each other. This method has been done by several artists and so I decided to give it a go myself, with poetic lines of text placed along each horizon.
