“My art seems to be at the partnership we have with the motorway and its landmarks. These visible representations of daily topographies and the framed see from the auto make up and variety the basis of recollections and nostalgia. The significance of these exterior landscapes is typically mirrored by the inner dialogue of the driver and passenger within just the confinements of the car, at occasions giving an intimate confessional house. The mundanity of these each day steps typically belies the real truth of deep routed thoughts that appear with effectively-travelled routes to the folks and locations that indicate the most to us.
“In these paintings I goal to portray this experience – emotionalism is a critical element in the accomplishment of just about every one and as a viewer you are pressured to search down the road as its sole traveller and undertake each and every journey as your possess. Every bridge or landmark acts as the sitter in the landscape’s portrait, confronting you head on, keeping your gaze as your intellect travels under and past its concrete confinements.”
