40” x 20” Acrylic on Board. 2026
“The common thread running through this body of work is the colour burgundy. These geometric abstractions are uninhibitedly about colour: colour that is specific, deliberate, and hard-won. A single shape may be layered with paint several times before the exact right shade reveals itself. That process is intentional. The time it takes is part of the work.
The forms are geometric but not mechanical. Stencils are hand-cut or digitally derived from hand-drawn marks, giving the work clean, sharp edges that still carry a human wobble. Some works incorporate silkscreen elements, adding layers of texture on top of the paint surface. The materials are primarily acrylic, with oil paint introduced in select works.
There is also a quiet defiance in these paintings. They might read as simple at first glance, easy even. That is a feature, not a flaw. The compositions are built on precise decisions: each shape is a puzzle, considered and placed until it earns its place. The work shirks the rules while looking like it never needed them”
