Varnishing Days are rather wonderful occasions.
It feels like a privilege to be included.
Thank you to the selectors for choosing my painting.
Special thanks to @grimesoona who made me feel so welcome

Which was nice….

Against the odds I’ve had a painting from the Entanglement series accepted for this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2026.

Three more recent developments from the Entanglement series that I didn’t get around to posting.
If you get a moment listen to ‘What is quantum’ presented by @marniechesterton aired last week on radio 4.
Fantastically mind boggling radio.

I realise that I haven’t posted much this year but there has been lots going on in the studio.
Here are a few recent paintings. These are all part of the ever expanding ‘entanglement’ series.
I’m still pursuing my interest in quantum physics and I’m still permanently confused by this intriguing phenomenon.
All these paintings are acrylic paint on panel 40x40 cm (with details).

I am really pleased to be a part of this up coming exhibition at the Paul Smith Space.
Thank you to @matchivers for including me in the line up.

SELF-SIMILAR
Curated by Mat Chivers
Coordinated by @ktheller

PAUL SMITH SPACE, 9 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BL
Private view: Thursday, 19th June 2025, 6-8pm
Exhibition runs: Friday 20th June 2025 - Sunday 8th September 2025

Reality is more than matter shaped by physics and chance; it is patterned, alive with echoes across scales — from quantum flickers to cosmic rhythms. ‘Self-similar’, curated by Mat Chivers at Paul Smith Space, gathers twenty-three artists whose works trace the delicate weave between nature and consciousness, blending science and intuition. At a moment when the future hangs in the balance, and humanity must relearn harmony with the Earth, these artists invite us to see anew — to imagine a world where human and more-than-human minds entwine, and all things are bound by a quiet, resonant thread.
