City Spaces Gallery - Miniatures
I work from photographs I have taken from within cities in the North East of England, searching for the derelict, forgotten and mysterious spaces in the urban environment. The uncanny feeling of having been there before and an atmosphere of uneasiness and uncertainty is reflected in the paintings.
My paintings are all miniatures not exceeding 11 centimetres in either direction. This scale creates intrigue, and is inviting while the image afflicts opposite emotions, such as a vague familiarity, strangeness and uncertainty. |
