This Too Shall Pass
£15.00
This Too Shall Pass is a deeply personal piece about the fragility of the artists mental state. The edges are unfinished intentionally and the piece is left on its stretchers with no frame. It’s representative of the relentlessness of the everyday and the never ending lists constantly swirling and growing, dragging us down. Arches represent the daily mountains needed to be overcome, and the tears at the top when we realise there’s another to climb tomorrow. The letters are drawn in the artist handwriting, torn and damaged, much like us. They are attached delicately, in place but fragile, as though they could fall off at any moment. The thick texture work, reminiscent of age and the heavy weight of life and its nuances, the creases holding it all together. This introspective piece is a departure from the artists usual more bold and chaotic style. It’s a sad moment that we know from experience, will eventually pass.

Original Art & Fine Art Prints Handmade in Oxfordshire
I use a variety of materials in my process. From brushes and pallet knives to cardboard scraps and sticks. My work is largely acrylic paint, whichever brand I can get on offer, and my preffered mediums are either Windsor and Newton or Liquitex.
Once signed and varnished, I photograph my paintings in natural light and crop to standard print sizes, adjusting levels to ensure as accurate a match to the original as possible. Once exported I print on my inkjet Epson P-900 SureColour. Tis a sexy beast.
I print onto a variety of papers, including high gloss and watercolour. My larger prints use satin 260gsm and my extra large prints (A1 & A0) are handled by a top notch local third party printing service I've been working with for years.
