Paintings in this gallery - formally termed Romantic Abstraction - are constructed on formalist abstract design composition and paint quality principles, and also reference personal experiences of the landscape through skies, the moon, land expanses, the sea and rivers, with particular connections to the US, Canada and France from my different road trips, the River Thames from my times in London (eg painting 'Nocturne: River Thames At Twilight'), the Moon from the skies over the meadows of my native Nottinghamshire of my childhood days, the mystery and visionary sensations I felt from my time living in a North Yorkshire village, and art historical interests in Turner, Whistler, Palmer, American Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism forms of Donald Judd, and Bauhaus design - (with additional design elements from a teenage interest in American billboards and 1960s Pop graphic art, extending into the development of my collection of photocollages, which are held in offline files).
