“I have worked continuously on visual art since I began art school in London UK when I was 15. I am now 83 and have not really slowed down that much. I have since 2015 avoided exhibitions and the effort away from painting that it requires to both get and install an exhibition. I have concentrated on my work and have a daily practice that continues to evolve my visual language. Two and a half years back I became ill and found it difficult to go to the studio to work; although I still do produce work in the studio I developed a method of working on an iPad to produce single images printed on BFK RIVES cotton rag paper 22” X 30” that marries very well with my painting production. This also indulges my belief that artists should embrace new methods of producing their images.
Since I am less able to do the big works daily I am still able to constantly work even if it is from my living room couch. This exhibition is about the moment that we all inhabit known collectively as ‘Now’; the only moment in which we exist. As always I view each piece as a footstep through my life, a diary of my daily thinking if you will.”
