A figure dreams; when he dreams, he creates a new universe every night. Two colliding galaxies frame the solarised face of our sleeping protagonist. From this, a multitude of big bangs create immeasurable universes, and these tumble-like marbles off the canvas. Like all of the above images, this was created by combining several magazine images and discarded photographs. I admire the work of Peter Doig and remember watching him describe his process of creating compositions. He, too, loves to assemble his compositions from fragments of images taken from a wide variety of print resources.

Planck Time

Planck Time is the shortest time possible to measure. A figure stands in a strange interior, his body either exploding or coalescing. The amorphous blob is an exploding atomic device, a black hole, or an alien creature. This is a freeze frame, like an artifact that flashes in a film that we only imagine we caught a glimpse of. This also marks a homage to the paintings of Francis Bacon, a painter whom I greatly admire.

Ahab
Acrylic on canvas, framed
600mm x 450mm
$695.00 Inc GST
Ahab is a painting that belongs to a series of artworks that meditate on life, death and what lies beyond. Ahab depicts the return of the famed sea captain from Moby Dick after finally vanquishing his white whale. The bloated carcass floats over his right shoulder, a harpoon still sticking out from the body. Ahab loosely grasps the trailing rope in his outstretched arm. Over his other shoulder is a small fishing boat, referencing a similar vessel seen in Puvis Des Chevannes’ work The Poor Fisherman 1879-1881. This sombre work has influenced my thinking multiple times, most notably in my paintings Charon (The Ferryman) 2010 and Old Fossil 2021.
This painting meditates on what remains to us after we have been driven by and obsessed over a goal without considering what comes afterwards.
The figure references a found photograph of a festival goer in Mexico, daubed in silver paint with a hessian bag obstructing his face, his head festooned with a cardboard crown. In this painting, Ahab is a sorry figure with skin that is more like fish scales than flesh. As he prepares to mount the steps and rejoin our world, we can’t help but wonder if it was worth it.

Keeping Watch
Oil on canvas, framed
630mm x 950mm
$1,365.00 Incl GST
After a two year stretch of painting abstract works and seascapes that meditated on the time between times of sunset and sunrise, I decided to take on the challenge of creating an artwork with a narrative.
Still very much dwelling on the ocean at sunset, the viewer is confronted by a solitary chair, an invitation to sit. We are joined by the artist’s son, gazing at rock pools, oblivious to the water swirling around his legs. A surfer prepares to leap from the rocks and two figures perch at the top of a cliff, soaking up the scene. The sky is a tumult of swirling clouds, a gathering storm about to disrupt the collective calm.
Drawn from a photograph captured at Raglan in 2010, this image has remained etched in my memory for years. The mystery of the kitchen chair, its origin and the individuals who may have sat upon it, continues to intrigue me. I like to imagine that I wasn't the only one who found solace in its embrace, taking a moment to appreciate the view that day.

The End Of The World As We Know It
Mixed media, framed
600mm x 450mm
$650.00 Incl GST
Simon Raine created a mixed media collage during the global Covid-19 pandemic to capture this moment in time. Its name is taken from a song title by the American rock band R.E.M. At the forefront was the idea that our world would change immeasurably, and we were about to discover a new normal. In April 2020, we were bombarded with news and fresh statistics daily from the media, scientists and governments. Our leaders asked millions of people worldwide to have faith whilst we isolated ourselves in the interest of the greater good. The haunting lyrics by R.E.M. thread through the painting's motifs, encouraging us to reflect on how difficult it was to make sense of the chaos surrounding us during this volatile time.

Event Horizon
Oil on Canvas, framed
610mm x 755mm
$900.00 Incl GST
Event Horizon is part of a series of artwork dealing with questions about what happens to us after we die; ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I love the scientific idea that we are all made of the same elements, atoms, sub-atomic particles as everything else in the universe; that everything we are originated from the death of stars billions of years ago. Our bodies are made from the food and water that we consumed and that has in turn changed and reconstituted over hundreds, thousands or millions of years through rocks, plants and creatures to eventuate in our consciousness.
Event Horizon is a depiction of a gateway between our bodies and the wider universe. There are some small references to sci-fi ideas about alien intervention in our human evolution. The Eagle Nebula towers in the background of this image, a place of active star formation thousands of light years beyond our solar system. We are a tiny part of a greater whole.
