Autumn Exhibition at Zenwalls Gallery in Peebles

Posted on September 17, 2020 | Leave a comment
I’m pleased to have been selected as one of the exhiting artists in the Autumn exhibition at Zenwalls Gallery, 68 Highstreet, Peebles, in the Scottish Borders.

Zenwalls Gallery specialises in abstract, classic and photographic mediums. The space hosts regularly changing engaging and thought-provoking exhibitions by both established artists and exciting new talent. With an emphasis on experimentation and interpretation, and a focus on exploring art in its historical, cultural and social contexts, Zenwalls serves as a gallery-laboratory.

Here is the installation view- I love the way that my paintings are in coversation with the seaweed photos by Allan Wright:

These are the paintings on display- three from the Reflections on the Water of Leith series and two from the From Portobello in the Rain series:

Reality is Not a Fixed Point. (Kaleidoscope Self-Portrait #3)

Posted on October 10, 2016 | Leave a comment

realityisnotafixedpoint

Private collection, London

Oil on canvas, 41cm x 41cm.

The kaleidoscope self-portraits investigate the way my own self-image has developed from reflections and distortions, focusing on specific body parts such as breasts, hips and face. A glanced reflection in a shop window, an image reflected in the eyes of another, a view of myself through the lens of body-shaming media culture, images coloured by emotions and contradictory evaluations- these are all ways that my body is reflected back to me. These paintings, as well as being a poetic representation of these reflections, are also a way to take back control of the portrayal of my own body, and revel in the power of being my own muse.

Joel, from Can’t See the Forest

Posted on August 9, 2016 | Leave a comment

Joel-Can't_See_The_Forest

20cm x 25cm. Acrylic and oil on canvas.

The paintings in Can’t See the Forest are an extension of my Symbiont series; portraits of people merging with trees. The Symbionts are inspired by the cracks in the pavement where trees take root, in the decay and rebirth of the world. They emphasize our interconnectedness with the other living things that make up our planet, and highlight the decisions we need to make if we are to survive as a species.

Can’t See the Forest is comprised of fifteen paintings of varying sizes, which when hung together combine to create a forest scene. Each painting can be viewed either separately or in combination with its companions. Only by viewing them together can one see the whole picture, but only by viewing them separately can one appreciate each individual personality.

I am very excited to be showing in this exhibition along with many other talented artists from around the world.

From the Gray’s Gallery website:

The first event ‘FLUX’ will be held in February 2015 and will showcase a group of 70 exceptionally talented contemporary artists.
