“Since 2005 my painting has been autobiographical and relate to growing up in South Wales in the 1950/60’s, this current work is in galleries in Brecon and Cardiff and I have a major exhibition at the Riverfront Arts complex in Newport in the Summer 2010.
The work in this exhibition falls mainly into 3 categories. Portraits, Couples and Conflicts. The work from these themes started with the large heads in 1993 and developed into couples and later into conflict pictures until 2005. The portrait and couple paintings are straightforward interpretations from photographs which were chosen for various reasons. Some are well known people, some are not, but all have physical characteristics which appeal to me. The conflict pictures are more complex are better explained face to face, though in simple terms they convey a misunderstanding and conditioning of conflicts by us, the observers.” Pete Ross
