Nocturne 45, 2023 oil on board 90 x 120 cmThis work is part of my Nocturnes series, which explores the nature of consciousness and perception through depictions of the industrial landscape at night. Working from photographs, I build up layers of oil paint to capture the peculiar beauty of these scenes which rarely earn our attention. Embracing the spirit of Romanticism, I approach these usually cold and unyielding environments through the lens of the personal and emotive, capturing moments of the sublime in the everyday.
