My two paintings: ‘Push Button And Wait’ and ‘No Stopping’ have been selected for the Royal Academy of Art’s Summer Exhibition 2023, helmed by David Remfry RA.

The proud parent posed with his offspring! Selected by Eileen Cooper RA for her Room IX.

I did these pieces in the first lockdown and since then they’ve been on the wall of my studio. Really glad they’re going to be seen by a larger audience than just me! ‘No Stopping’ and ‘Push Button And Wait’.

David Remfry was one of the judges for the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition in 2020, that I was also in, and ultimately chose my painting ‘Check Your Travel’ as the winner of the inaugural Cityscape Prize.

This year saw 11,204 entries from the public with 998 artists making the cut and 1,613 artworks featuring in the exhibition.

You can watch a nice tour of the show here. It’s effectively a walk around after everyone has gone home. Can you spot my paintings? They are there, I assure you.
