VINCENT’S ART STATEMENT:
I am driven by the challenge of creating beautiful, impactful objects that 1. provide an immediate and enduring experience and 2. change a space positively by their presence, even when they’re not being looked at directly.
My paintings explore the dynamic interplay between line, space, and colour, striving for a poetic intensity. Soul in preference to perfection. I consider my paintings, indeed all abstract painting, to be aesthetic machines and like a machine, a painting has a purpose with components that combine in an integrated visual system.
I work in series to explore a specific idea or approach in depth across multiple works. A work from a recent series of paintings, Everything At Once #4, was honoured with the Homiens Art Prize in 2025.
The work I completed between the summer of 2024 and the summer of 2025 is available exclusively for G Art Gallery collectors. These paintings, including the prize-winning piece mentioned above, explore balance and simultaneity: colours, shapes and patterns presented in equal measure, so that no element dominates. The effect of this visual alchemy is hopefully immediate and immersive with the whole painting revealing itself all at once. The bold contrasts and carefully balanced proportions create works that are striking and engaging. Ideal for collectors who want pieces that energise a space while remaining harmonious.
Painting what I, or no one else, has ever seen is always an adventure and a thrill for me, especially when the results are pleasantly surprising. But a painting isn’t truly complete until it’s on a wall, interacting with a spectator and enhancing a space. Like all paintings, mine offer the spectator a unique and enduring experience – one that, I hope touches the heart as it engages the mind.
