These paintings, full of colour, light and shadows are his observations and reflect a very personal view of the city. An enormous publication with 26 powerful colour plates dominating a 22x20 inch sheet. The text is made up of extracts from Jan Morris' book Manhattan '45." (from the prospectus) "Once back in my studio, a year of painting begins. With a stylus and Wacom tablet, I paint on the computer in Illustrator. Working only with flat areas of colour (CMYK) and no tone, I "cut out" colour shapes with the stylus, arranging them on different layers, creating a collage. In fact, I first began working this way years ago (before developing my computer skills) by cutting out sheets of coloured paper with scissors, similar to the way Matisse created his paper cut-outs. Matisse described it as "drawing with colour". The paintings end up as digital files; vector images which can be reduced or enlarged to any size. Therefore there is no scanning, the files can be printed directly from the computer onto a mould-made paper, using a flat-bed UV inkjet printer. The images give a narrative to the book."
