“I know very well what I am about and that my skies have not been neglected, though they often failed in execution – and often no doubt from over anxiety about them…”
John Constable

I seek the depth, not in an abstract sense, but I want to physically reproduce my admiration for any horizon.

Ballpoint Pen on Carboard, 14,8 x 10,5 cm. February 2017.
By the word “Biroscape” I define the landscape, the idea of place, exclusively designed by the ballpoint pen. The series is unlimited in number but has small size. Privilege this format because it allows me to focus in a space of unlimited depth. The interior landscape is mixed with the outer one in the becoming of new shapes. A radically personal interpretation of form in the space of the blank cardboard sheet.

My research at the moment is directed to the nuance that I can get with the pen, which is very underestimated by artists. Ballpoint pen allows a great opportunity for shades of gray and deep blacks, by subtle hatching, touching the paper lightly or sinking the tip deep, allows the possibility for this balance. This is the key to getting a good result, in my opinion. It requires for me a lot of attention and a certain amount of patience and application.

Dave Gregory’s Portrait. Digital Ipad Painting with Procreate app.
In this portrait of Dave Gregory, XTC guitarist, Tin Spirits and now Big Big Train, I tried to bring out the determination of Dave, the brilliant and intelligent side of his guitar ideas. I hope you like it too. In a message he says “go ahead, but it will probably frighten away your visitors” I think and I hope that is not so, and that my interpretation of your eyes are understood and appreciated. Thanks again for what you do Dave through your music!
