Safekeeping X is an original painting inspired by landscape and architecture.
Acrylic and plaster on high quality plywood painting panel.
50 x 50 x 4cm (19.7 x 19.7")

I apply plaster to the panel an then build up layers of paint and engraved lines. The surface has lots of beautiful subtle detailed marks and lines.
My long standing interest in landscape and architecture have always inspired me. Vernacular buildings, both rural and urban, domestic and functional, have found a place in my work for some time, no doubt also informed by time as an architectural technician. I am particular drawn to the triangular form of the gable ends of buildings, whether they be simple sheds, northern terraces, suburban 1960’s bungalows, barns or industrial warehouses.

"The landscape is my starting point, not as a picturesque or static view, but as a space travelled through and experienced often on the edges of the urban and rural. It is a source of man made and natural structures, surfaces
and colour from which my reductive personal responses develop. I am inspired by distant horizons, the silhouettes of trees and rooftops contrasting expanses of sky interrupted by power lines, and by the architectural forms of vernacular buildings."
