WEBCAM en plein air

ADDED TO WEBSITE

Some images from my recent project, Webcam en plein air, have been added to my website.

You can view the images here.

I have some additional new work form this project waiting to be photographed in the studio too. Watch this space!

MADE IN ROATH II

SHO GALLERY

Just a quick update on the exhibition in the SHO Gallery for Made in Roath.

I exhibited two new pieces as part of a new body of work.

Webcam en plein air 1, Tramore, May 2014 and Webcam en plein air 2, Belfast, May 2014.

The painting of Belfast won an award. The exhibition was judged by Chris from g39 and Ben Borthwick, formerly of Tate Artes Mundi.

MADE IN ROATH

SHO GALLERY

I will be exhibiting some new work at the SHO Gallery in Cardiff as part of the Made in Roath arts festival.

More details to come but the exhibition runs from the 15th to the 29th of October.

Stay tuned!

DayZ en plein air NEW WORK

I have just completed a new batch of en plein air paintings from DayZ.

The pieces have been added to my website where you can view the whole series, but for now here are a few pieces:

I like that a number of scenes from DayZ bring up recurring themes in my own work- watchtowers, checkpoints, petrol stations, water, abandoned buildings. I think I might retire this project for now, seven pieces makes for an interesting body of work.

Also- here is a super work in progress panorama, where you can see a little of the processes involved. With a project like DayZ en plein air I think it is important to understand the physical nature of painting like this.

In addition, a link to my older post on earlier DayZ en plein air work and subsequent exhibition.

MUSIC

MAKING

It's be a very busy month, with a lot of time spent in Ireland and a lot of time spent playing music. I've not really had the chance to get into the studio as much as I've wanted but should have some new work done this week.

In the mean time- here is a few stills from a mini documentary about a good friend & luthier, Martin Gallen. Martin makes gorgeous pipes, and has recently crafted a flat pitch chanter for me out of some 100 year old box wood recovered from the derelict mill in my home town.

Will hopefully get the footage completed this week too, alongside a video I shot in Barcelona back in April.

FAR LANDS EXHIBITION

MILLENNIUM GALLERY SHEFFIELD

This weekend I am exhibiting in Sheffied Millennium Gallery as part of the Games Britannia gaming festival. 

The exhibition has been organised by new game/art collective Third Person View and the show is called Far Lands.

I am exhibiting three new paintings which are part of the DayZ en plein air series, details of which I will post on my website portfolio after the show.

Its really great to be part of a large gaming exhibition and also to see other artists exploring gaming culture too. The whole festival looks immense, I would have loved to attend a few of the workshops myself, including one run by ex-Gremlin staff.

Here come the links:

I have recently been interviewed by game/art writer and pioneer Matteo Bittanti, for his website Gamescenes.

You can access the interview here, where we discuss my latest piece Postcards from Mexico before digging a little deeper into some older pieces.

Enjoy.
