swain n. A country lad, especially a young shepherd. Young lover. A beau. Lover of the country. [Middle English, young man, servant, from Old Norse sveinn.]
After a lightning visit to Salzburg to meet the gallery owner who invited me to exhibit in her gallery this July…and after a little negotiation of the contract…I'm looking forward to being represented by this forward thinking and dynamic new gallery owner…always a risk, but I want to be positive.
Totally shattered from building brick raised beds in the snow and looking forward to being in a financial position to paint full-time again…nice thought anyway…
'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.' Sally-Ann Schilling.
