A paint, oil based, industrial and more given to the outside, garden sheds, roofs and fences. It is along with white emulsion one of my favourite mediums. It has power and this can be manipulated in its own unique way. I first began using bitumen at Art College and slowly learned some of its many applications, effects and mixes.
Many of my early works were in bitumen and sold quickly now residing in Paris, New York and one made it all the way to Japan. Of course we exhibited in galleries, Art cafes and restaurants in those days so the textures and tones, colours were more apparent to the observer. I am slowly rediscovering my love of this media.
