Cambridge Rowers

“The Cambridge rower series of paintings have become a study not simply in composition, were I consider the shape in the canvas and more often with the small rower paintings it is a triangle within the rectangle (canvas).The subject of rowers is a local scene, I live five minutes from the river and I can often be found by the river sketching, painting or simply looking. In my paintings the rowers are often caught in  stillness, quiet moments in-between each endeavour to get to the next fixed point. The scenes are very much views of the individual, who inhabits their own personal space, physical sense and in their own minds. These scenes often portray a reflective or introspective quality. They are an attempt to capture single moment in an otherwise non-static activity."
