Together with painting on canvas there remains a large variety of shifting, stylistic strategies that can underwrite and scaffold any critical engagement with conceptual ideas.

Together with painting on canvas there remains a large variety of shifting, stylistic strategies that can underwrite and scaffold any critical engagement with conceptual ideas. For instance, practically it is possible to produce painting that finds its starting point with everyday objects and material that are modified through paint. Ordinary materials such as fabric, utensils, glass, can be condensed into dynamic objects and installations that can push the limits of perception.
Items found or made which reflect our culture in simple ways can be changed, their context altered and mutated. Painterly interventions, while experimental in parts can be implemented decisively, with certitude, changing levels of meaning without arbitrariness. In essence the work attempts to create evocative methods of picture making. It would propose that through multifarious means it is possible to take painting to unusual and metaphoric places, away from the canvas and stretcher. Encouraging playful spatial interventions that challenge the audience’s perceptual and intellectual capacities.
