 I like this body of work a lot... on the one hand very “classically academic” but also powerfully conceptual

Facebook comment by Dr Duncan Mckay artist /writer

I reject your gaze that considers me ugly.

私を醜いいと思うあなたの視線を拒否します。

As there is no such thing and beauty is an independent sensation not a collective measure. ”美しいもの”など存在しません、”美”とはただ個人の感覚であって、普遍的なものさしではないのですから。

My painting donated to the Hospital has been placed .

After three years of painting it was put on the wall so patients recovering from all sorts of ailments have pleasant space in which to do so. Painting this size is not easy there is a lot of aesthetic problems to be overcome, such as balancing the hues, tones and contrasts across a large area, many thanks to the Doctor and the hospital for allowing me to paint such an ambitious image.

Ogatsu Ishinomaki 3/11 Tsunami Damage

This month at 2 Dogs Art Space there will be a Ogatsu Ishinomaki 3/11 Tsunami Memorial Exhibition  featuring my artworks. Four and half months after the tsunami hit I went several times to  Ogatsu Ishinomaki  a fishing village with a Surgeon who was helping the people there to recover, these five trips lasted three days (I was donating paintings to temporary medical emergency centers). 

I so admire the Japanese people with the way they worked together in achieving to get the  community going again, it was humbling to see.

This image was taken out of the back of the car going into Ogatsu, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Morning over Ogatsu

 The town was totally obliterated but strangely the place look so beautiful.

Fishing Town relics with distant smashed Ogatsu Fisherman's Coop

It was unbelievable to walk to this part of the Ogatsu village in the morning on the road, then in the afternoon you couldn't get there as the ocean tide came in and flooded the area and there were little fish swimming over the white line in the middle of the street.

These paintings remain unfinished.
