Pomp and Power
Pomp and Power
Oil on canvas 25 x 20 cm
A crane-like structure floating in the wild. Pomp and Power explores the strange beauty of industrial forms set against nature. I have always been fascinated by industrial shapes like cranes or power lines but have slowly been won over by the quiet persistence of nature forever reclaiming those spaces.

Pomp and Power
Each painting carries its own journey - here’s a glimpse of how this piece unfolded.
This painting started on a canvas printed with the Berlin floral wallpaper pattern, with some of the traces still visible. I see this as a crane structure in the wild. I find building cranes very interesting and a constant source of study. I like how they unfold and how they break up a skyline. I painted this during the lock down, not too long after returning from a year in Berlin and that urban imprint mixed with suddenly being at home, surrounded by nature and taking note of things growing around my studio.
