            STILL & OTHER LIVES 1
The paintings on this page go back to around 2005.  Until then I'd painted largely non-representational (or abstract) pieces, concentrating on the surface and striving for optical flatness. I've always drawn a lot and have a great affection for decorative objects so these started to appear in the paintings, much in a kind of post cubist style similar to Mary Fedden and others. They were very nice but I found them unsatisfying, schematic and formulaic. They lacked the sheer variety and uncertainty of looking closely at things I took for granted. And I missed the rich culture of illusory space that is a constant of western painting.
These painting are roughly in chronological order and include some of the  architectural references that I have used in my later work.
Please click on thumbnails for full image. I am in the process of re-doing this site so some of the captions and sizes may be missing.
