This event has ended.

“Painting to me is an exhilarating and violent form of thought. I think of the cosmic dust and the origins of it all. I become Prussian blue, violet, shades of grey and black; I paint the abyss and the morning star. My painting practice is a philosophical inquiry about the relationship between the materiality of paint and ambiguity of my brush mark. It is an incessant search for a composition, which evokes a mood that touches one’s deepest sensibilities.”
