Sotheby's | The Age of Disposable Thumbs

I hung out with this painting for a long time. It was worked on in three different studios as the world around it went into a spin. I started it in Berlin in 2019, later bringing it to a religious sculptors studio in Ireland. Then Covid chased us to a shed at the bottom of a tiny garden, where I finished it in May 2021. It's a painting about movement, pace, action, and contemplation. The title speaks volumes about the movement of mankind from …

It’s always amazing to see my paintings out in the wild, especially when they have found such a beautiful home in New York. Perry Sayles designed this Chelsea apartment. His work was featured in the Wall Street Journal.

You can see images of the entire space and other projects by Perry Sayles here.

I was due to show work I have created throughout 2020 in a new solo exhibition at the John Martin Gallery in London. With the recent tightening of lockdown restrictions in England, the show has been postponed. The gallery is still operating online, and you can find the most up to date information on their website or by subscribing to their newsletter. I am heading back to the studio. If you are interested in a behind-the-scenes look at my studio and creative process, check back here in a few days. I am starting a studio vlog, and the first episode should be up then.

And All You Knew Changed Crazily
Mar 30, 2020
news

The title „And All You Knew Changed Crazily“ seems so apt for the situation we all find ourselves in at the moment that I only wish I could apply this level of divination when I do my weekly lotto numbers. There are these pipe structures that have appeared in several of my recent paintings. The longer I looked at them the more I began to see them as some sort of map of life. A chance meeting or a quick decision might be the sharp turn that changes the course of a life dramatically. For better or worse. The title captured that idea perfectly and in doing so helped me become fully conscious of it. I don’t usually think too much about …

I’ve wanted to work on etchings for a while so when I got the chance of making some with the help of an excellent printmaker at The Cork Printmakers I jumped on it. Later that that year I brought the etchings to Italy to paint into them. On the way to Italy the gods saw fit to give me a good dose of food poisoning…

Painting is a moving thing. Describing that movement with words is difficult. I hope I can capture the major twists and turns of this piece with the help of some studio shots taking over whenever the words conk out. The canvas is Belgian linen. The scent of Belgian linen is up there in my pantheon of all-time favourite smells. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a cockerel crowing in the morning. A little bit of oil paint and it’s gone. I left the canvas untouched for weeks to hold on to that scent and packed it when I left for Italy last summer...
