My new show of paintings takes us on a journey. From the ancient past. From the time of gods and goddesses. And recreates those stories. Using contemporary dancers. From the Age of gold to the new Age of light. The stories are of Persephone, the goddess of the underworld. And of the seasons? And forms from antiquity becoming. Renewed. Here we have Aurora, the goddess of the morning of the dawn. From the light to the darkness. And here we have psyche. Floating free in the last painting. Flying above the wall. Show includes large canvases and drawings and sculpture. Forms that are breaking free and floating. I've worked with some incredible dancers on this project. I want to thank them all. I hope you enjoy. This new mythologies. Here we have Persephone becoming one with nature becoming a tree. The Golden Age, from dark to light. And psyche at last. The Goddess of the soul. And finally revealing her true beauty. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this show. At the High Gallery in Chiswick, London W4. From October 26.
