Newest work + Oxfam exhibition

Haven't updated for a while, mostly because iv'e been slacking a bit in the artwork department (skint, lack of materials and energy etc etc) but here's the latest work i've done , well from last month but still :)

Oh yeh , the exhibition for oxfam never really updated on how that went, it was preety good even though I didn't sell anything , it was nice to get the chance to see what people thought of my work though and I got positive feedback on the whole as well as some constructive criticism which is always useful!!






Construct - Acrylic on 60 by 80cm canvas


A simple abstract composition , kind of done on a whim , didn't really plan this one out just went with the flow. It turned out ok I think though perhaps it could be more complex.














Lips that would kiss form prayers to broken stone - Acrylic

Based on a line from the T S Eliot poem 'The Hollow Men' which I was listening to a lot prior to this paintings creation. This was based on a sketch I did of two figures kissing, and then I added the detail of the buildings in the background in the painting. I wanted to create a loving yet sombre image for this painting hence why the colours are quite faded and greyish/dark. Im quite pleased with it and I was going for an expressionist feel which I think I broadly achieved. Though the guys ear could of been done better, that is the major niggle I have with this one, ears are tough though!!!








Outwards and Downwards - Acrylic

The oldest of these three, actually thought I had uploaded this one, obviously not though. I am really rather pleased with it, just like how it is very energetic and busy, more akin to some of my abstract drawings.
