The
Tunnels section is my foray into photo realistic painting. These are literally
paintings of tunnels, subways and corridors photographed by me in and
around London and transfered by oil onto canvas. These are my mature "Artworld" works, my conceptial pieces, my serious head paintings (as opposed to
the heart paintings, the abstracts
and figuratives). The photo-real
paintings took a lot of time and effort, and although they are impressive
works (so I've been told), they became a bit tedious to do - I just wasn't
having fun being an artist any more - so I stopped doing them. It was
easier just to take photos. I'm always changing my style and who knows,
I may return to the photo-real one day. NEW - may 2006:"Blue Rooms" - a series of non photo-real paintings completed during the making of yin yang which I have now included in the updated version of the website.
