"THERE IS NO LIGHT WITHOUT DARK"
Many features of my working process have led me recently to the parallel concepts in the Chinese philosophy of Taoism. Specifically the themes of 'going with the flow' and balance/duality.
My painting process is one which relies on instinct. I am open to change whilst feeling my way through the painting. Duality has been a constant theme in my work as I play with colour complementaries and instinctively balance light/dark, soft/hard, intricate/vast, opaque/transparent.
Previously I have used the golden ratio and PHI spiral within my compositions. I've now become interested in looking at why an image simply looks 'right'. A search for a visual archetype.

Hi Rob, the best idea is to contact the gallery directly on 0141 942 4683 and they will keep you right with what’s possible and what’s not – which appears to be changing all the time! All the best.
