work that i am currently working on. exploring colour, how colour can effect emotions. this first piece is going to have a playful feel, something that you could imagine in a childrens bedroom ect.

New Photo's

New work.

Many Artists have used colour and tone to express themselves, I plan on using colour and tone within natural forms to create a series of paintings. Using the influence of the Artists Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock and Hundertwasser. I am also using colour as a way as displaying my emotions within the subject of Natural forms.

I have begun to take pictures, and write down the different emotions different colours make me feel.

current work

I am currently working at my home in Chorley North West England. Finding it hard to continue with my practice as i am lacking the luxuries of having a studio space, and the facilities of my art school in London.

However i have been working on a sketch book and looking at new artists to be inspired by.

I have also been reading a variety of different books, ranging from Jackson Pollock to Gauguin.

I am very much so still interested in the natural world around me, and how it differs. Colour is important to me, i am going to experiment on a large scale which i feel will give me the encouragement to develop and take my ideas forward.

Hopefully i will have some new work to upload soon!!

Summer Time

During the summer i will be returning to preston for 2 and a half months. I will miss the studio and being in a creative environment, however i am going to continue my artwork, explore new ideas and influences and look at different interpretations of the world, and how art is different for everyone.

End of year Show

new paintings.

these are paintings using mainly oil paints. these are experiments in the technique and the application of the paint. I found it interesting looking at brush strokes and how the application of paint can change the painting and make it look different. thicker paint application and more liberal paint brush strokes give the painting more depth- which i thought worked well with my particular style.

oil paintings

these are two oil paintings that i did recently. i enjoy using oils, i prefur this medium to accrylic paint, iplan on displaying these paintings in the end of year exhibition.

Prints

here are some etchings i did late last year, taken from a photograph.

oil paint/exhibition

This week i have tried painting in oil paint for the first time. It has been somewhat a success and i may start to use oil instead of acrylic as a prefured medium. I will upload some pictures shortly.

Also my group exhibition in Putney went very well indeed. Everybody's work looked so different when taken out of the studio. It was a great success and hopefully be many for to come during the future. The photograph shows the painting that i put up for the exhibition.

recent sketches from from my journal =]

A few weeks ago i took a trip to Kew Gardens, I really enjoyed kew, especially all the different flowers and plants. I love to capture the natural beauty of them within my photography.

Chris Ofili

3/02/10 i went the the Chris Ofili exhibition at the Tate britain in London. I have looked at ofili's work before during foundation.

The exhibition is definatly worth going to see. Ofili has a unique style, and painting is something i can relate too. i find his work very inspiring.
