It's been a very busy, wonderful and exciting summer. I left the shores of Singapore to go home to Scotland a month ago to see family & friends. Before doing so, I thought it was time to get my art out there...
Culture Square is an art gallery located on 72 Duxton Road, Singapore. The gallery acts as a platform for emerging artists to show their work and for the public to have the chance to buy one off pieces of artwork at affordable prices. Having been given the opportunity to produce work for the gallery, I set to work in late May.
As you may have read from previous blog pieces, I have been looking at Greek Mythology as inspiration for my recent drawings. It's been a really enjoyable experience delving into individual stories and working towards a new collection.
There is also a diverse range of works to be seen from recent graduates of LASALLE College of Arts and beyond, so if you happen to be visiting/living in Singapore, I certainly suggest popping in.
To help you to understand a bit more about my work on show, I wrote the following Artist Statement which you can also read on the Culture Square website...
‘The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures’ George Braque
I have always had an obsession with line, a mark which evolves, developing little by little. It is direct, able to be controlled and often spontaneous.
Storytelling informs my current art practice, from myths & legends to perplexing daily news. Nurtured by my imagination, the works will often highlight a contemporary significance.
My current body of work is inspired by characters and notions in Greek Mythology. I find the portrayal of different species (including the imaginary) fascinating and consider man’s dominance in our world today.
If you happen to be free on Friday the 13th of September 2013, Culture Square will be hosting an event with myself & five other artists.

Hope to see you there!
