ARTIST COMMUNITY

I adore working with lots of colour and I strive to find rare visual harmonies between tones throughout various moments within the composition. Painting has always been an extremely personal and isolated experience for me, being a meditative process. The pure experience of art personally exists not in looking at the final piece, but within the moment of every brush stroke – the application of medium to canvas.

‍

In the early stages I explored with painting solely from feel - detaching my conscious self from the hand that held the paint brush. Previously, every stroke had to be precise and had to develop into the specific final view that had been decided during composition. It took a lot of practice and experimentation to find my flow – the space in which I now exist in as I paint. In that moment I free the brush, with my eyes acting as a guide in the process.

The less you think about each stroke, the more you enjoy the feel of what you’re looking at.

Kit likes music. His propensity for the mix was forged in the drum and bass ridden streets of south Manchester, so he sought to play a different sound; a sound that might (potentially) have been described as ‘eclectic’, ‘juicy’ and ‘funkadelic to the point of ridiculousness’. He has stated his sole aim is to bring a selection of beats that leave craters on dance floors, and sweaty pools on the ceiling. A veteran of Indigo, Shoreditch BOXPARK (the upstairs zone) and his friend Steve’s basement, Kit is not one to miss.
