Artwork notes
Artist-wide context
He explored whether colour and shape could move us like music, even when objects became hard to recognise.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Oil, watercolour and printmaking let him test the same forms at different scales.
Marks and structure
Early loose marks later coexist with carefully placed circles, diagonals and geometric shapes.
Palette and light
Colour can suggest tension or calm without describing a recognisable object.
