The fabulous gallery spaces at Fort Gorgast were the setting for my first exhibition. Michael Gauss’ photos capture the magical spirit of the building that is part of Forte Cultura. Many thanks to him, and to all those who joined us for an unforgettable party!
Nature studies. Exercises in observation, looking for the light, for volumes, for shapes, structures and shifts of plane. Both meditative and exhausting.
Here’s some pictures from both my studio in the countryside and from atelier training at the Art Academy in Stroud (Gloucestershire).
While the last paintings are still being framed, I am already very much looking forward to the opening on 20 May.
From my archives: an essay about Czechoslovakia one year after the fall of the communist regime, a country caught between revolution and an impossible restauration.
From my archives: an essay about the facts and the emotions surrounding the orderly departure of the Russian army after the reunification of Germany. Many of the 373,800 soldiers and 208,400 civilians from the former Soviet Union left for a future of great uncertainty, leaving behind devastated housing areas, polluted soils and vast empty spaces.
