Abstract
My paintings are part of a continuing series of speculative approaches to landscape. I was interested in trying to fathom a way of responding to painting landscape in the face of what seemed to me an impossibility. The historical precedents and the long established genre of landscape painting presents an enormous challenge. The traditions of academic painting, of realism, of expressionism, of vanguard-ism and of abstraction have already ‘mapped the territory’ and to a very large extent bordered off all the available modalities of what painted landscapes can be. ‘Landscape’ is already captured ground. Nevertheless, this ‘impossibility’ was itself a proposition and an incitement to walk again down this particular lane!
