Work in progress welded sculpture: Torso II (after Laocoön) made from reclaimed metal. It’s early days, so my arc welding skills won’t win any prizes, but I’m having lots of whale of a time learning!

These are the results of three portrait practice sessions with my mate, Paul. He even managed to stop talking occasionally, so I could draw his mouth!

Well that was a hectic few days, but I’m glad to say the Take Four art exhibition is now up and running! It’s in the David Hughes Centre in Beaumaris and is open from 10am to 5pm every day from now until Bank Holiday Monday 30th August. There’s some great work on display by Jenny Armour, Mike Linford and ceramicist Jill Plews. Hope you can make it!

New tiny paintings, all 15cm x 15cm, flashe vinyl on canvas board, except the last one (20cm x 20cm acrylic on canvas board).
These are my latest paintings, all acrylic on canvas board (30cm x 30cm). I’m working hard trying to get some new pieces together for the Take Four group show in Beaumaris which opens this Saturday 14th August. In these pieces I’m focussing on the human figure as sculpture in order to investigate how we use memory/pattern recognition to interpret what we see. I’m trying to keep in mind Picasso (as always), David Bomberg’s early work, especially The Mud Bath and Vision of Ezekiel, Matisse’s cutouts and Nicolas de Stael’s footballers.
