Abstractions from the Southbank
The rigour of my architectural and set design training has been a formative influence on my work.
The ‘Reduction’ and ‘Beautiful Brutalism’ series transform the iconic architecture of London’s Southbank through spatial abstraction.
Contrast and colour are manipulated to accentuate shapes and structures, creating new abstract compositions from the angular National Theatre and its vicinities. Negative space is explored to locate latent configurations beyond the perception of the human eye. Bold, often primary, colour is introduced in some pieces, flattening the image and reducing it to colour and shapes only.
My debut solo exhibition of this work is now in The Wolfson Gallery at The National Theatre.
