ORIGINAL ACRYLIC PAINTINGS FOR SALE
I had never painted seriously until 2002, when I began to dabble with acrylics. Loved them! Two years later, in 2004, I emerged onto the British art scene with a series of representational and semi-abstract acrylic works based on places that I had visited during a lifetime of travel and passion for art. It was the beginning of a meteoric artistic career. Within a month of my first exhibition at the North Norfolk Art Centre in April, 2004, I was selected as a finalist in the prestigious British nationwide EAC Art Awards. My original acrylic paintings were later hung at The Business Design Centre in London. A really great acheivement for me. In June 2004, I exhibited at Summers Art Loft in my hometown in Dorking, Surrey . In 2006, I was once again selected as a finalist in the British EAC Art Awards and my art was hung in the Mall Galleries in London - another huge acheivement for me. Shortly afterwards, in September 2006, I held a very near sell-out solo exhibition at Gallery 47, opposite the British Museum in Bloomsbury , London. This was so successful that I was also asked to hang my original paintings in a new VIP Lounge at London Heathrow Airport . My next solo exhibition, in September 2007 at the prestigious Leatherhead Theatre in Surrey, UK, at which I exhibited 60+ original acrylic paintings for sale was another major success. In 2008, my work was once again a finalist in the national EAC Art Awards and exhibited at the renowned Bankside Gallery on London's South Bank. I also exhibited at The Blue Door Gallery near London Bridge in London. and, in 2009, at the influential Contemporary Fine Arts gallery, The Lloyd Gill Gallery, in Weston-super-Mare, UK. In December, 2009, my painting ""Gaza" was selected by the arts media company, New Art Originals.com to be displayed electronically on a 20ft x 10ft billboard near Tate Britain in London. "Gaza" was emotionally draining and, by pure chance, circumstances dictated that I do other things for nearly 18 months. In August 2010, I took up my brushes again painting now with new ideas. The break was actually good for me - a chance to recharge batteries. I will still paint original acrylic paintings but, now, I intend to paint only landscapes and vignettes of Nature accompanied by a Haiku poem to give the paintings an additional dimention - adding thru the 5-7-5 syllable regime of Haiku poetry a sense of 'Now', a greater sense of 'place' and also of sounds and smells. People say my distinctive style of painting, intense palette and ability to evoke depth, space and spirituality bring a vibrant, magical touch and compelling imaginative element to my original paintings, thus vividly expressing the deeper essence of my subjects. My original acrylic paintings often act as comments on the political, environmental and cultural aspects not only of the global perspective I've gained through a lifetime of travel, but also my consciousness of the space-time continuum. Boiled down, that hopefully means simply that I am a medium between the viewer and a brief moment captured on canvas. My work now hangs in private collections in the UK, Sweden , Germany, Italy and the United States to name just a few. And just as a postscript, if you are wondering why the phrases 'original acrylic paintings' and 'original paintings' appear so often in the text, it because it helps improve the Google rankings! No good getting old if you don't get artful! ---
