Waterhouse and Dodd will be presenting five new works at the gallery in February 2015. Their second gallery will feature a selection of work curated by Michael from gallery stock, including further oil paintings and works on paper by the artist.

Having painted at least two or three figure paintings a year for the last 35, I recently decided to concentrate on a series of small, intensively worked still lifes. Denied the emotional charge and inevitable narrative element that is generated whilst working with a sitter, I have found myself transposing these qualities onto the inanimate objects I was working with, investing them with a particular psychological and poetic intensity which might otherwise have been reserved for the figure work.

The exhibition at Waterhouse and Dodd, 47 Albemarle Street , London, opens on 4th Februrary 2015 and will run until 25th Februrary 2015.
