| The most recent of the Fallen Angel series of nudes - www.ryepress.com/fallen-angel.html
A series of paintings that draw on an eclectic range of influences that include Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Caravaggio and even the famous pin up artist of the 1940’s an 1950’s, Alberto Vargas! The painting techniques are Bacon whilst the poses are a nostalgic nod to the glamour of the 1940’s. The individually coloured backgrounds that give each painting its sub title are stained into the raw stretched linen with acrylic and the oil paint is then applied with brushes, rags, sponges and fingers. |

| St Pancras station clock tower rises majestically above the courtyard of Midhope House on the Hillview estate in Kings Cross in the 1980s. These 1890’s tenement blocks were “decanted” in the late 1970’s by Camden Council pending demolition. They were rapidly squatted by the survivors of the Tolmers Square and Huntley Street squats who fought a drawn out and often bitter battle with Camden council to save the buildings. Grudgingly granted “short-life” status in the 1980s they went on to taken over by a Housing Association the following decade and thoroughly restored. The Hillview estate is still home to many of these original squatters who have raised families in the flats originally condemned by Camden council as unfit for families!
