Introduction
It's all about stripes
It goes without saying that stripes are amongst the simplest forms of graphic art that we see in our daily lives. Be it in a material, a wallpaper, your country's flag, a zebra crossing, in a barcode or at the start of a Netflix film! stripes really are everywhere. They also represent one of the cleanest ways of representing a scene, a picture, a location, an emotion using the most minimalist of all artistic structures.
My take on stripes echoes some ideas explored by earlier artists such as Sir Terry Frost and Bridget Riley but seeks to refresh the colours and sizing structures, experimenting with a more modern palette of colours and particularly enjoying the effects that clashing those colours can create. The paintings and prints are often very big and presented in a super sharp manner with crisp, clean framing which further helps to focus each piece.
The paintings have the ability to sit very comfortably in modern home settings but at the same time can also help to re-invigorate and add fresh life to older rooms in more traditional properties.
They add a splash of colour and life to a room and are unashamedly offered as "popping" pop art ! for the home or workspace.
In addition to the original works, many of my paintings are available as super high quality Giclée prints created on beautiful German textured etching papers with vivid bright colours creating an equally crisp result.

To help you see how the art might look in a number of different room locations we've added some simulated room settings for each of the items in each collection.




Framing
Black or White ?
All the art is presented in a slim profile aluminium frame in either Black or White featuring a soft sheen finish.
The front facing bezel is nice and thin at around 6mm and the depth of the frame is reassuringly boxy at around 36mm. The images are mounted on a 6mm board and fronted by either 4mm or 5mm perspex. Larger items have additional wooden straps on the back to further support them.
The overall effect of the framing is to sharply crop the paintings at their edges without detracting or taking the eye away from the blocky nature of the work and this results in a slightly retro, mid century feel to the finished pieces.
