Fine Art Magazine September Edition

The age old subject matter is brought to life through Colin’s skilful and imaginative application of modern processes. He produces his pieces on aluminium panels by laying down a white base coat, then working with airbrush and spray paint to compose an abstract background and the darker shapes of his subject. Once this stage is completed he moves on to the finer details and highlights, for which he calls on a range of tools to engrave or incise on the painted surface, exposing the underlying white and creating the image in intaglio (relief). The result is mesmerising and translates beautifully into extraordinarily high impact limited editions. Although Colin set up his studio comparatively recently, his ultra-stylish and distinctive work has already made an impact across the UK. The power of the subject matter combined with the technical panache of his creative process means these pieces are uniquely arresting and make a strong statement in any setting.
