The Athole House Studio
Self-Isolation Artist Residency
30th March 2020 - 7th November 2021

​

Picture
Over my career I have taken part in many artist residencies in various parts of the world; I have even organised and run a residency program myself. 2020 has brought new challenges to us all, I however intend to treat these challenges as opportunities. With this in mind today, the first day of my self-isolation having arrived back from my studio in the Untied States last night, I I launch my new blog which will become an integral part of this website as I redesign is over the coming weeks.

Artist Residencies give artists the space and perhaps more importantly the time to make new work; I intend to treat my time in self-isolation in the same way that I would if I were on an artist residency in another studio in another part of the world. Athole House Studio maybe one of my home studios but for me it is a work space, and lets face it, we all now have the time.

New Painting: 'Subtle Embrace.' oil paint on canvas, 600 x 600 mm.

Picture
As I spend more and more time experimenting with paint as a medium for expression, I am alternatively delighted and frustrated by it. At the moment my main emotion is delight, the new works, which ironically hark back to many of my older works, are capturing the essence of my concepts and I'm managing to find a wonderful space for them to inhabit somewhere between reality and the abstraction of it. I leave these pieces entirely open to the observer’s interpretation: are these traditional landscapes, expressions of sky, sea, space or something internal? You decide. I don’t even want the titles to give too much away, the titles are expressions of my own feelings about the paintings; they are therefore emotive rather than being descriptive.

New Painting, "Where they kiss.", 2020, oil on canvas, 600 x 600 mm.

Picture
The new painting, 'Where they kiss', took a sudden leap forward in the last 24 hours. Previously I thought that it was very close to completion but when I returned to it I realised two things; one, that it was far from finished but also two, that I knew exactly what I needed to do with it. As I mentioned previously in many ways this is a return to my previous style of painting and I slipped back into it with great relish.

I do intend to examine this painting in much greater detail in the next week or so and I will publish those thoughts as things progress. I also intent to re-photograph it as I have found it very difficult to transmit its subtleties photographically, hence the details below.
