abstract . contemporary . v i v i d fluid random
i paint things which aren’t things and photograph things, especially looking for things at the edge of things.
i’m an abstract artist and photographer, mainly working with physical medium: vivid, fluid, random elements, contemporary. inspired by music, sound, environment, art and landscape.
previously i have worked within the music industry, music retail and design, running the empty quarter/teq music? and publishing mfteq, later carbon disks mail order and until recently writing as deadhead / h.marcuse.
between 2000-2010 i exhibited intensively around east anglia and work is held in private collections throughout the world.
mid-2022 saw a marked change furthering threads begun in 2019, exploring imaginary cities, other-worlds and mind’s eye reflected journeys.
sole focus is now on experimental studies
… art exists everywhere and is, for all and none.
