Graham Neale's (Big Van . Com) Private Collection - London

A French Film director needed to hire out three paintings to be included into a feature film that was to be shot on location at The Tate Modern. 

Sally Scantlebury from ArtRight Contemporary Fine Art Services recommended my work, and it gives me great pleasure to say that two of the below paintings were included in the film. And that Graham Neale was paid £300 to let out two of the paintings he purchased from me for the event.

Private Collection of Graham Neale (owner of Big Van . Com) - London

Graham Neale is the owner of the BigVan.Com. Every time I have an exhibition, every time I sell work and need it delivered, every I need to move... I call Graham. One could say that he has really watch my career develop since I arrived in London. Graham has been very supportive and incredibly professional in moving my paintings. 

For the first year and a half he watched and helped me move all my paintings. It was not until I was selected into the ArtLink@Sotheby's International Young Artist Program that he started collecting my work.

It is really important that these paintings are scene in the flesh. The Beatle Juice painting with four organic forms took 5-6 months to complete. It has approximately 35 - 40 layers of oil paint. It has two under paintings and is extremely textured.

 

The Willow World paintings are also very textured and they as well consist of approximately 25 layers of oil paint.

 

A Selection of drawings - all given to Graham Neale (owner of Big Van . Com) for his encouragment.
