Brynja (2020), acrylic on canvas 90 x 70cm. This painting was part of a small series of work created exclusively for @caigerart exploring the idea of merging the practice of both drawing and painting, focusing on line work. I’ve always tried to avoid any similarity to Franz Kline, as he really was a master of black and white abstraction, but with this one I tried to reference him in a semi direct way. I don’t paint anywhere near as loosely as he did but felt like it worked here. The name Brynja refers to ‘armour’ in Old Norse, referring to the almost ‘belt’ like form in the composition. You can find this painting on show at @affordableartfairuk in Battersea right now (Stand J7) or online.

After two years away, the Battersea @affordableartfairuk is on! Had a great time at the opening tonight and spoke to some great people. If you’re around London go call in and see @caigerart on stand J7. I’m so pleased to have been included amongst the other great artists on her roster. DM me for free tickets!
