BUDA

August 30, 2017 by Art & Photography

Photographed in Budapest… my favourite shots from this trip, a window belonging to an abandoned shop front. I wasn’t allowed to photograph everywhere and was moved on from certain buildings by security, however, this building was on one of the main commercial streets in Buda, the only thing I had to dodge were passers by. What I love about these images is their beautiful texture like the quality of a beaten up photograph. The botched attempt at graffiti has resulted […]

FUCK TRUMP

August 29, 2017 by Art & Photography

Photographed in a Budapest ruin bar… I love good graffiti, bad graffiti, all kinds of graffiti, apart from that which has been co-opted for commercial purposes, for the obvious oxymoron. I’m not politically motivated, however, I was drawn to the directness of this graffiti – the fact that something so current can motivate such a powerful response. What strikes me as ironic (in my opinion) is that Trump is unlikely to wreak as much collective damage as his predecessor Republican presidents, […]

JESUS BOX

August 29, 2017 by Art & Photography

Photographed in a Budapest back street… this image has great abstract appeal, from a geometric perspective, as well as the worn aspects of peeling paint and the bent out shape metal construction. The cross is possibly one of the world’s most iconic symbols, representing faith, sacrifice, love & the potential of rebirth, among many other concepts – but what I love most about this image is the almost perfectly geometric cross in a battered box, which offers so many metaphors for the […]

SATELLITE

August 16, 2017 by Art & Photography

Both Mark Twain and Kahlil Gibran wrote that we all have a dark side. Pink Floyd are quoted as saying that there is no dark side of the moon, that in fact it is all dark, and William Shakespeare wrote that we should not swear by the moon for she changes constantly, like love. “The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we […]

PIXEL

August 11, 2017 by Art & Photography

PIXEL is a series of four photographs taken in June this year of the product design Mobil Pixel Lamp, created in 2010 by Istvan Kulinyi. A lamp made of stacked triangulated cubes made from Plexiglas and neon, featured in the National Salon 2017 exhibition ALL AROUND US, at the Mucscarnok-Kunsthalle, Budapest. I like to take abstracted photographs of interesting objects that may inspire a particular direction in my painting and collage. Kulinyi’s design is a nod to 70’s style interiors […]

LED

August 10, 2017 by Art & Photography

LED is a series of five monochromatic section photographs I snapped back in June of the installation MUKI_PIX cobblestone system, created in 2012 by S39 Hybrid Design Manufacture. A series of cobblestones made from concrete & LED, mounted in a wooden box. MUKI_PIX featured in the National Salon 2017 exhibition ALL AROUND US, at the Mucscarnok-Kunsthalle, Budapest. Abstracted images of the original exhibit, LED captures, for me, the essence of the installation… light coming from an unexpected source, in a […]

SHAPES IN ASHES

May 30, 2017 by Art & Photography

Timber-clad kindling and sparks fly like fire flies in the night of the new moon – light the only light in the fire, is the fire, and the only warmth is the fire, in the dark, and the fire catches fire, and the world catches fire, and so go the shapes, the shapes into ashes make new shapes from ashes in ashes – they blow and scatter on the north wind. SHAPES IN ASHES | collage | acrylic, ink, card & […]

HALF LIGHT

May 16, 2017 by Art & Photography

“A man’s power is in the half-light, in the half-seen movements of his hand and the unguessed-at expression of his face. It is the absence of facts that frightens people: the gap you open, into which they pour their fears, fantasies, desires.” Dame Hilary Mantel HALF LIGHT | acrylic & ink on paper | A4 21 x 28.5cm (8.5 x 11.5″) | May 2017 HALF LIGHT II | acrylic & ink on paper | A4 21 x 28.5cm (8.5 x 11.5″) | […]
