Just returned from France having abandoned all attempts to landscape an area under snow and ice at the back of our home in Domfront…Imfuc*ingpossible!
Being positive…I had more time and energy to develop my watercolour in the warmth of my studio.
'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.
