My work is predominantly installation based and relates to my interest in our relationship with places. Often the work itself is intended to have a direct dialogue with the particular space in which it is presented. I use processes of replication and displacement, often combining and relating three-dimensional pieces to time based imagery and...

My work is primarily concerned with process – building translucent glazes of paint until an illusion of light and depth are achieved. The process involves the application of multiple (up to 40 or more) thin glazes of acrylic paint and gloss medium.

In later years I have focused my attention on one particular subject - it is that of...

I'm making art for over 20 years by now. For the last 10 years I devoted mostly my work for a public realm. I work with different kind of materials, mostly steel but also I use balloons with gas, kinetic motion or projection. I don't perceive my work as a ritual; There is no absolute, or no another steady point in art. The art is partly an elusive...

I use a unique technique that I have developed to lift off the top layer of surfaces from the built environment. I capture the layers of visual histories imbued in architectural surfaces and re-present slices of our surroundings. I often work with sites that are due to be demolished, documenting histories that would otherwise be lost. The beauty...

My work is a mixture of works on paper and site specific installations. I use drawing, printmaking, collage, assemblage and textiles to create largely figurative works that depict everyday objects and places. I like that objects can describe a place, a time, a person or community through the way that they have been used or left. I draw attention...

I explore the transformative possibilities of paint. The layers of paint are plasticised and cast, preserving their liquid qualities, while allowing new applications, new possibilities to be imagined.The hanging works are investigations of the sculptural possibilities of paint as a medium. The threads or ribbons of paint evoke a fluid painterly...

With a background in science, the tension between those two sides of me (the artistic and the scientific) triggered most of my art work in recent years. Initially, I was making art on art (exploring questions like What is art? and How does art world work?). More recently, I explored the discrepancies between great scientific ideas and our everyday...

The work can have different threads or ideas working at the same time. Idea's or thread's can inform each other and suggest creative solutions. Different threads or idea's allow the brain to be challenged and worked in different directions in order to facilitate advancement. Materials play an important part in allowing or...

My practice considers where our disenchanted, secularised world a sense of the religious fails to be suppressed, either through unacknowledged ideological attachments (a dogmatic sense of what is correct or true) or through the seductive, mesmerising appeal of contemporary art.  The work arises from a fascination with the rhetoric...

The history of painting has always captured the spirit of its era, and my work is no different. I am researching the contemporary phenomenon of an age of 'awkwardness', where information and images are floating around on the Internet in no particular order. Even though we seem to live in a world of impermanence (this is not a new thought, the 1972...

Each sculpture would be painted or glazed, but then broken up and its constituent parts used to form the next. In this way the sculptures are continually...

"David Lucas has progressed from recording the landscape to a more subjective interpretative art which has allowed for a greater emotional and philosophical response to painting. Light, shafts of brightness and horizon lines are put into the work but his interest in the deeper aspects of infinity has widened the vision. He attempts to unravel...

I have a deep rooted affinity with the countryside and its resources, in part informed by my family's long association with farming. The cyclical element of the processes in nature inspires me, as do the insignificant details that we might often pass by. I am interested in ways that we work with or against nature; how we react and intervene,...

I am an artist who makes work across the fields of visual art, writing, performance and curatorial practice.  Inspired by the clown and the fool, I make mischief that is playful - defiant, teasing and delivered with a dry wit and humour, and often in the form of pranks. The pranks and performances I create instigate dialogues, which are...

I am inspired by the painterly process and its relation to abstraction, and feel passionate about engaging with the subject of borders, edges and peripheries.  I have always been drawn to places which could be described as borderlands, geographically and psychologically but also which have been rendered throughout history by painters and...

ConceptsTo the viewer the paintings look like elitist depictions of bourgeois living.  These have been painted from photos which I have taken myself from my travels or from lifestyle magazines.  I am interested in the notion that some things never go out of fashion and are classic. This is what good life is about and its contents....
