Exploring ways of painting that search for legitamacy in the face of logical arguments that determine it's 'end'.

After the end of Painting
The 'end' of painting is determined by a number of cultural, financial, historical factors and also the basic limitation in finding new ways to paint. I explore a range of approaches from abstract to more figurative paintings linked by the use of white (blank canvas/pulse/emptiness) to explore the potential energy (held in check) and power that painting can still generate today.
Exploring text, connections, gaps, nuances in relation to (and in the fall of) Modernism and Post Modernism.
Exploring repetition and pulse in relation to landscape and memory using a digital system of repeating (1+0) marks deliberately eroded, destroyed and phased out.
Exploring figurative forms transformed through memory relating to primary images: diving women, fallen angels, trees, buildings in the landscape.
