My new limited edition prints, Battle of Jersey I-III, are on show in the 'Mixtape' exhibition
at Private & Public gallery until Friday 18 May 2023.
These are kaleidoscopic variations on John Singleton Copley's painting,
'The Death of Major Peirson', a masterpiece on display at Tate Britain in London.
The Battle of Jersey took place in 1781 and was the last French attempt to seize the Island. It was also the last time a pitch battle was fought on British soil against an invading force, on that occasion led by Baron Phillipe de Rullecourt. Successfully repelled by the Jersey Garrison led by Major Francis Peirson, who was killed in action, this remains one of the most important moments in the Island’s history.
My original artworks are based on a high resolution photograph of the painting courtesy of Jersey Heritage.
Each is in a limited edition of 10. For all purchase enquiries in relation to these works,

Les Platons 150
This playful parody of a piste map takes Les Platons, the highest ‘peak’ on the north cliffs of Jersey, and transforms it into an imaginary ski resort. Bays and headlands appear as epic mountain scenery, cliff paths as ski runs with distinctly Jersey names, and tiny cliff-top woods as sprawling alpine forests…
There are 15 prints available in this limited edition.
