I'm excited to announce that I will be exhibiting at the Traditional Architecture Group 'Salon Des Refuses' next month. The exhibition which will run from 4th June until 14th is being held at the Art Workers Guild, Queen Square, Bloomsbury, London. It will be the first time I have exhibited in the capital. 'Tuscan Doorway' is based on a design by Wendel Dietterlin the Elder that appeared in 'Architecura: Von Austheilung, Symmetria und Proportion der Funff Seulen' published in 1598. The painting is priced at £300.00
Finally a new post! Apologies for my absence; I've been having problems with my pc. Here is my latest painting a Doric arch from the 'Architectura' ('Architectura: Von Austheilung, Symmetria und Proportion der Funff Seulen ') of Walter Dietterlin the Elder (1550 - 1599). Dietterlin's treatise which was originally published in two parts was immensely influential in Northern Europe. Elizabethan and Jacobean buildings are peppered with his decorative details. I suppose that purist classical architects and architectural historians decry such stuff (and to be fair some of it is quite mad), but given a choice between Inigo Jones and Dietterlin I'd definitely choose the latter. Much more fun.
