Artist Statement:
I like the sensuality and
depth of colour in oil paint.
Painting with a palette knife
dictates I loosen up and trust
in chance; my aim is to assert
the materiality of the oil
paint on the painting surface.
I allow the paint to be itself
before it is a description of
anything, this establishes
it's language and meaning. The
painting becomes an entity in
its own right, image and paint
essential equals demanding I
work a certain direction and
in a way dictating where I
shall take it to next.
Indifferent natural forces,
colossal energy, sweeping
light and storms shape
limestoned Wales and
Cornwall's ancient granite
coastline where I "practice my
craft and sullen art"*
Allan Storer.
