This Artwork Has Been SoldSize :
Fire is one of my series of eight acrylic paintings on wood panel, inspired by the ancient Daoist practice of I Ching, which is comprised of eight trigrams, or nature elements, heavy with symbolic meaning. Each trigram is painted as if encapsulated within its own realm, separate from its seven sister elements, to appreciate it in its singular, raw, elemental beauty. Although there are recognisable motifs of natural forms in some of my I Ching paintings, they are predominantly abstract. All of the paintings in this series employ the compositional structure of a circle within a square, echoing the traditional simplicity of the Yin-Yang symbol.

I am an abstract artist from Birmingham. My work follows a winding path, pulled along by noticing what I notice, whether it's a tiny fragment or a philosophical idea. I work in series, investigating a theme until it either burns itself out, or something brighter and shinier pops up in front of it, catching my eye, enticing me in a new direction. For the last 18 months, I've been making series of paintings in response to ancient philosophical approaches - first was the Hermetic Principles, and then Daoism and the I Ching. Much of my work is dominated by one or more circles - they're a recurring motif, and I have yet to understand my preoccupation with them - perhaps I should leave it a mystery. In August 2022 I left a long career in education, having taught both adults and children, and embraced the adventure of full time artmaking. I now paint almost every day in my studio, a wooden shed at the end of my garden - it's my sanctuary. As well as keeping my art practice energised, I co-run an artists' support network called United Artists of South Birmingham (UASB), which has brought over 170 local artists and craftspeople together. I still teach, although now it's in my own studio, and one-to-one/two. I sell my work (originals & giclee prints) at Art markets, and occasionally do artist demos and workshops. I'm thrilled to be represented by two wonderful independent galleries in Birmingham - Purple Gallery in Bournville, and Seventh Circle Arts & Aesthetics in Moseley. You can find me, and more of my paintings, on Instagram @samweeksartist, and Facebook Sam Weeks Artist, and my website too - www.samweeksartist.com. Please drop by and say hello.
