Abstract Painting

Vasarely is almost everywhere here, and the distortion of multiple vanishing points. Add to this some Japanese, Celtic, African and Chinese influences. Only a few examples are shown here. I would love to paint some of these as large-scale murals!

This painting, which I like very much, was left on sale-or-return in a gallery up north, with some works by my fellow artist Dave Jenkins. The gallery closed down and the owner didn’t even have the courtesy to notify the artists… If you have this piece hanging on your wall, please note that the artist has never been paid for his work.
