Graham Durward: What Can I Do About My Dreams
What can I do about my dreams
In Graham Durward鈥檚 paintings, objects and figures on the periphery become central to his visionary agenda. Images and other elements are most likely apparitions. Intimacy and light vie with these visual intrusions, even when they are violent or unwelcome. Contamination is inevitable, accommodated into the greater scheme of things. For Durward, the painting must present as an accumulation of events, becoming as one. Painting becomes the conduit to possibilities. These are not paintings of sensibilities triggered by memories or sentiment. Yet, there is tenderness.
