Happy New Year!
Painting in France was special. Henry II's Chateau from my studio window is a view to behold…tempting to paint, but I'm still avoiding this. It's all in my head though…
I'm having an email dialogue with a contemporary gallery owner in Austria, who approached me, wanting me to exhibit this year. I'm seriously considering this opportunity.
'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.
