Colin has built up a solid international career profile’ with regular exhibitions of his paintings throughout the UK, Europe and America.

His paintings have received numerous awards, most notably a major grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation in New York.

” My creative process is one of exploration and chance.  I go into each painting with no preconceived idea – working initially on building the surface in layers and marking reference points.  Gradually a dialogue between the painting and myself is developed and a definite direction is formed. “

”  Each element of the work will be constantly examined, considered and reassessed. In the final analysis, great importance is placed on the finished surface balance, structure, and rhythm of the painting “

”  My working process involves a range of materials including acrylic and oil paints, collage, glazes and varnishes.  The paintings are created on wood panels and utilise more urban colours than the colours of nature “

”  Ultimately, they aim to celebrate the spirit of modern culture, the pleasure of finding and using, and the Dada-ist ideal of looking at society in fragments “
