Oils

A new body of work, painted now. After years of pouring resin — a medium that gives you minutes and no second chances — these are oil on canvas: slow, figurative, and reworkable. None of these have been released yet: oil takes months to cure before it can be sealed, signed and numbered. When each one is ready it is released in a drop — the original goes first, one only, first come first served, and once it is gone the signed edition of ten opens. Ask to be told when a particular painting is ready and you will hear before anyone else.

The Rider, 2026

A knight riding out from a tower under a full moon, red cloak flying, on a white horse. At 48 by 48 inches on board it is the largest painting in the series. The armour carries a damask pattern pressed into its surface, the horse's eye is ringed in gold leaf, and the blossom at the right is built up thick enough to catch the light.

A face turned up into the light, one eye open at the centre of it. Rings of dotted white travel outward from the eye and carry on past the edge of the canvas; everything the light does not reach falls away into black.
