I was born on the 20.05.1949 in Nottingham England. I have been living in Germany since 1979. For a couple of years now I have concentrated my oil painting with the reduction of the colours to black white contrasts “Chiaroscuro” to which I add a few specific coloured accents. In my graphic appearing and often surrealistic artworks I play with the perspective. I let the aspects of symbolism and mysticism flow into my works, to which I add a defamiliarization of the contours. "I would like to create a spatial depth in my works, which plays with the apparent three-dimensional effect. The gaze of the observer shall be first drawn to the middle of the picture and only later to expand to the outer areas of the work. Not only the apparent surreal three-dimensionality room is made on the canvas, but also portraits of famous personalities and "people from the neighbourhood" It is the photo realism with every last little detail with which I try to draw the observer of my works into my spell.
my surreal thoughts appear again in the sculpture wood objects which I have been creating for a couple of years. The organic forms joined together with the natural qualities of the wood. The natural treatment of the wood lets undreamt discolorations emerge. These objects are then married to basalt using a high polished brass plate which reflects the work in to the depth of the stone.
