PERFECT STORM: LANDSCAPE | part III
PERFECT STORM: COLLABORATION | MARTIN DAVIES & VESNA MILINKOVIC PERFECT STORM: LANDSCAPE | part III → This final group of charcoal drawings are reminiscent of nature in one form or another. In Perfect Storm XVI I see the unfurling fern, while IX presents a more literal leaf shape – in XIV, mountain peaks and the waters edge, while in IV I see a bird’s eye view of the Holy Isle retreat – the cross for me represents the Buddhist shrine […]

PERFECT STORM: LYRICAL | part I
PERFECT STORM: COLLABORATION | MARTIN DAVIES & VESNA MILINKOVIC PERFECT STORM: LYRICAL | part I → The months leading up to December 2016 were some of the toughest I’ve experienced on a personal level, paralleling the emotions I had experienced when my father passed away in 1984 – my metaphorical car had careered off the cliff and I found myself free-falling into the abyss. As my plummet slowed, I came to a point of zero gravity, suspended like a rain drop in mid flow, […]

HEPWORTH Wakefield
Playing catch-up from back end of 2016, feeling like I only scratched the surface during my visit to the Hepworth Wakefield gallery. The location is compelling, rushing water over tangled branches and river rubbish, wide open spaces, high ceilings and light-filled… that is the church of Barbara Hepworth, patron saint of British sculpture. A gallery jewel in the crown of the north, and master mini-mecca when it comes to contemporary art. If you haven’t done this artist’s pilgrimage yet, then […]

Freestyle Indian ink work, digitally remastered in kaleidoscope style to create this mandala illustration.

Transcendent | 2016 | Indian ink, paper | dimensions: 55 x 55 cm Transcendent | detail I Transcendent | detail II A project I’ve had a mind to do for over a year. Freestyle Indian ink work, remastered to form this mandala. The beauty of this particular work is that the high res scan is at 600dpi, which means it can be reproduced at up to 2.5m in diameter. It takes about two hours to paint the initial section by hand, then […]

Victor Pasmore BRISTOL
I checked out Bristol Museum & Art Gallery while I was in town, and am really glad that I took the time. I’m a big fan of Victor Pasmore’s work, here’s a couple of beautiful pieces I found at this particular gallery… Relief Construction 1961, Victor Pasmore This is the only 3D Victor Pasmore work that I’ve seen in person, and loved it instantly – architectural in form, and reminiscent of Le Corbusier’s influence during the 60’s; “The history of […]
