About Amos

Artist's Statement I'm interested in my own mark-making...in it's ability to express, suggest and describe. This exquisite personal manipulation is forever revealing to me and offers a complex channel for communicating my ideas, emotions and spontaneous tachism. Amos comments: ' I place my self within the painting and become part of it, the art is the person - the life that is making the work. The paintings are documents and a recording of an event, an action that happened - they are not the work; the action, the performance the improvised and impulsive moment is the work; the art is alive’.
