“Often vibrant, sometimes contemplative, my work explores those moments when the past echoes in the present, abstracting experiences of place through filters of memories, dreams, associations and emotions.

I create images to make sense of the world as I move through it, mindful always of the ways in which the past affects my every experience. In doing so, fragmented landscapes and interiors emerge that cannot be placed in any specific time or location. Even so, they are somehow recognizable, both to me and (surprisingly) frequently to others. You may feel you know that place - that, perhaps, you’ve been there, even if you can’t quite fix where or when. You may see things or feel a resonance that others cannot, yet miss elements that might seem so obvious to someone else. Paintings as portals - it’s a fascinating thought.

It took me a long time to understand how the past can ground you, or unmoor you, in the present. I had always thought my paintings, drawings and prints were simply my responses to places and their histories. I now realize just how much those responses have been shaped by memory and association, both real and imagined. We are the sum of the stories we tell ourselves, as well as those that others have told to or about us, and we interpret the world around us through that filter.

Recent works draw on my own family history, its artifacts and ephemera, becoming more rooted in objects than landscape, yet that uncanny resonance remains as I rekindle my forty-year-old obsession with still life and the domestic space. Ultimately, art is always about time.”

Brandon-based artist, Leigh Driver’, studied Fine Art at the Hertfordshire College of Art & Design in the early 1980s
under the guidance of the wonderful painter Graham Boyd (and Prunella Clough apparently, although sadly Leigh has no memory of her). Leigh also holds an MSc from the University of Oxford and has had two books published.

Acrylic, plastic, collage, assemblage work by

Beer mat watercolour paintings dating from the 1980s alongside disruptive social commentary in bright colour plastic and impasto paint.

Punk rock music and the attitude of no future dominated his mid-teens, creating a long-lasting rebellious streak. He defies limits and expectations, enjoying poking fun at traditional methods of creating visual art.
Working with a childlike playfulness and naivety, he introduces toys, charms, often vintage and highly collectable pieces, which the artist works into his acrylic paintings and sculptures as a means of playing with the idea of and subverting value.
