Nathan Carter

Don't know anything about this artist, don't really want to, enough to know that his work is utterly fantastic. Shapes, colours and wonderful titles. This piece is ATMOSPHERIC DISTURBANCE BARENTS SEA WHERE DID ALL THESE BIRDS COME FROM?, 2007. Why of course it is, it couldn't be anything else, could it?

Peter Green

A quick look at St. Judes Gallery website reveals that the brilliant printmaker Peter Green has an exhibition in the offing, with some stunning new work. The Peter Green print that hangs above my living room fireplace, Red Night Fantasy, remains my favourite artwork on display in my house (my own work included). The enigmatic shapes and organic forms bristle with energy and seem to be in constant tension against each other, an impression emphasised by the muted colours and clever overprinting. The new works seem even more arresting, reminiscent of the surrealism of de Chirico and Paul Nash: vaguely recognisable shapes and forms that leave you intrigued and unsettled. These are works that you never tire of losing yourself in, and when I sell some work I shall be buying one, hopefully Shore forms (illustrated). Simply stunning.
