For the past few years I've been making paintings that attempt to depict the ethereal nature of electric light on the urban landscape - a landscape that is literally electrified by human habitation. My aim is t o depict environments where almost everything seems defined by light and it's effects, such as glare and reflection. In these paintings I try to represent our experience of the strange, almost unreal artificiality of electric light with paintings of predominately distant views of cityscapes as seen through glass windows from up high (as from a skyscraper). I want these paintings to evoke the melancholic feeling of looking out at a distant view of the illuminated city, the particular experience of being on one side of the window and seeing the world on the other. It's an experience where one feels present but not connected, provoking a sense of contemplative disconnection.
