Banks - Personal Statement
The greatest inspiration behind my work and much of my primary
source material is landscape but I also work from a variety of other
sources - memories, dreams, and emotional situations of all kinds. I
attempt to portray my personal feelings about subjects.
I am interested in creating complex, sometimes simple, paintings
based on an interaction between the man-made and the natural world.
I like to develop sequences of work where paintings begin to explore
relationships between the subject matter and the imaginary space
within the painting.
Some recent work explores ideas about love and war, and the effects
of one on the other.
I have contributed to many exhibitions in England and France where I
was a member of the Monaco Ecole des Arts Plastique. As artist in
residence over the last 3 years, I have spent a lot of time painting
on site in Cape Cornwall, later developing work and ideas further in
my studio.
