Artist Statement:
My paintings are almost never
purely representational, but
this series is quite
different.....
Though right now the abundance
around us seems staggering,
what I try to depict is the
awesome beauty of food that is
fast disappearing.
This style for me, best
expresses what I want to
convey about food.
In part representational/part
abstract images, food is
portrayed with powerful
energy, and sweeping vibrant
colour.
There are many levels here.
The glorification of food, the
tension between the colours,
the significance of the line
work, the surreal power of the
images.....
The lines and shapes that
surround each fruit are very
deliberate, and each stroke of
paint is purposeful....here is
all of nature, the land, the
seasons, water, the sky, with
food as the heart of it all.
I feel very strongly that to
connect with the viewer, the
work should look rich and full
of life........ as we prepare
meals and shop for food, we
hold in our hands every shape
and texture that nature
provides......food is indeed
glorious....I paint it as a
celebration of life and a
reminder of it’s fragility.
