It's Friday!…philosophical Friday. Time to reflect…if I don't exhibit this year, maybe a gallery will consider exhibiting my work next year…or sometime in the future.
Ultimately, as the artist, I'm not in control where or when my work is seen in a gallery and by remembering this fact I am encouraged because above this, I create the work…and the shopkeepers/galleries rely on the artist.
Is the artist the chicken or the egg? I like to think the egg…
'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.
