26 2005
THERE were balloons hanging outside. No, not some child's
birthday being announced but a Liverpool art gallery opening.
The
Almiro Gallery has opened in Mersey View, Waterloo, not an
area normally associated with high art.

UP A CANVAS WITH YOUR COFFEE Oct 19

MANY diners are leaving restaurants and bars with a full stomach
and a new painting.
MOST diners expect to leave a restaurant with a lighter wallet
and a fuller stomach. These days, however, as is fitting for
a designated capital of culture, they might find themselves
with an original painting under one arm, as Liverpool restaurant
and bar owners catch on to the French custom of selling art
works from their walls.

ROY'S
WORK IS ABOUT TRYING TO PAINT THE TINIEST MEMORY FROM
WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG. ALTHOUGH COMPLETELY NON-FIGURATIVE,
HIS PAINTINGS REPRESENT SOMETHING TO HIM ABOUT HIS CHILDHOOD
AND WHERE HE GREW UP. HE TRIES TO CAPTURE THE FEELING
OF AGED AND WORN-OUT OBJECTS; THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
AROUND FOR YEARS WITHOUT ANYONE REALLY PAYING THEM ANY
ATTENTION. OBJECTS SUCH AS OLD FACTORY MACHINERY AND
STREET FURNITURE THAT IS REACHING THE END OF ITS USEFUL
LIFE HOLD A PARTICULAR FASCINATION TO ROY.
ROY'S
WORK USUALLY GOES THROUGH MANY INCARNATIONS BEFORE HE
ARRIVES AT WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR - MOST GET SCRATCHED
OUT AND PAINTED OVER A FEW TIMES BEFORE THEY ARE FINISHED.
USUALLY A LITTLE PIECE FROM EACH LAYER CREEPS THROUGH,
ADDING TO THE TEXTURE AND THE FEELING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT HAS SOME HISTORY & SOUL.
ROY SAYS HE CREATES HIS TEXTURED, TACTILE AND DURABLE
PAINTINGS USING HOUSEHOLD PAINT, TILE GROUT, HAMMERITE,
CAR PAINTS, FLOOR VARNISH AND "ANYTHING ELSE I
CAN GET MY HANDS ON".
ROY
ALSO ACCEPTS COMMISSIONS AND HAS SOLD NUMEROUS PAINTINGS
ON THIS BASIS. CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME OF THE DIGITAL
SKETCHES ROY CREATED IN PREPARATION FOR HIS MOST RECENT
COMMISSION.
