New York 1965 - 1967. Part One

I arrived in New York from England in 1965 to study at New York University and the Pratt Graphic Arts Institute. 
Prior to my arrival I had been focusing on printmaking, but living in the city near Greenwich Village and newly exposed to the exciting and rapidly changing urban culture and art world of New York, I rented space in a communal loft studio and began painting again.
Painting for the first time on canvas and now incorporating collage using graphics, found objects and torn playbills, my work, although still structured, took on a much looser, more textured look. 

I have already featured some paintings from these years on this blog, but here are three never before shown:

  

Revolution. 1966                                        FIVE. 1967

Jack. 1967

Last Lines Across

Last Lines Across.   2014 58" x 41"

This canvas, completed in 2014, aims to incorporate and summarize many of the themes and techniques I have attempted to address in my paintings over the past few years.

A pair of narrow, vertical canvases with dense horizontal layering, with a darker and more muted range of color and movement than my Dancing Mesas of earlier this year.

A follow up to my earlier Alkali Playa, this experimental painting uses a variety of media including house paint, spray paint and water based dyes as well as artist's acrylic colors.

Recent Paintings — Apollo

Apollo (2013)

This new painting is based, like Obidos, on walls of character—this one the lone surviving wall of the Roman temple of Apollo in Sicily.
