WHAT
The US-based British artist’s new paintings explore our fractured relationship with mountains – culturally significant landscapes – through contrasts of tone and texture. Challenging our assumptions of what is marginal and what is teeming with life and meaning, he prompts his audience to look closer, look around, and to look inward.

WHY
Throughout history and across cultures, mountains have been regarded as places of power and mysticism, home to deities, ascetic sages, and creatures of myth. Depicted as thresholds between the mortal world and the divine, their rugged peaks form the border where human ambition meets the unknown. The artist inverts our expectations of the exterior and the interior, and invites a conscious examination of interiority.
