i reeeally, really like vicky wright's 'guardian' series. using oil on board, she's created an almost crystal-like organic form that progresses out from its modest canvas. heavily influenced by her family's involvement in coal mining, it deals with the de-stabilization of the human figure and the economic demise of the industry.

ALevel art.


these are ollllllllld - from my fine art days at esher college. its weird looking at them now, i miss my nutty tutors with their words of wisdom & eccentricity. ...above is a 'transition' piece where we had to copy an artist's work with our own interpretation on it (so basically plagiarism with a twist lol) i chose stuart pearson wright's portrait of a gardener nd was kind of fascinated by the unveiling of the painting process. here i used acrylic and coffee on canvas.


this is a self portrait from 2007, in coffee/tissue paper and chalk on canvas - and not forgetting the trademark esher college 'drip'- where you would just pour whatever you could find at the time, all over your canvas.
