A Fistful of Light

In A Fistful of Light, painting becomes a language of instinct, imagination and dream. Developed through years of working with abstraction, the artist approaches painting as a fluid and intuitive form of communication, where gesture carries lived significance and shape can hold meaning and reference.

This new body of work explores the space between the material world and the subconscious, bridging everyday experience with imagination and dream states. Working through a slow, analogue process of searching and unearthing, the artist allows images to emerge through the act of painting itself, as painterly knowledge slides humorously and sometimes surprising into subconscious forms. Drawing plays an important role in this process, offering a direct, bodily language that feeds into the energy of the paintings.
