The
Unfamiliar
This gallery tracks the birth and rise of 'Vibrant Realism'. It
starts with works dating back to the 1980's and progresses through
to the turn of the 21st century. Some works such as 'The Trench'
are based on real life places I have stumbled across while others
such as 'Steps' and 'Stairs' are from my vivid imagination. All
have a meaning, for example, 'Ghost Fish' was produced at a time
when large drift nets were used to fish the sea and destroyed anything
in their way, including dolphins and other unwanted catches.
