In Storytelling, Bland explores the power of recollection and the essence of childhood through a series of compelling vignettes. From the bustling energy of a schoolyard to the exhilarating whirl of a funfair, each painting captures fleeting moments imbued with nostalgia and whimsy. Through meticulous attention to detail and nuanced colour palettes, Bland breathes life into cherished memories, inviting viewers to revel in the beauty of everyday existence. Reflecting on his own journey and artistic evolution, Bland's self-portraits offer intimate glimpses into his inner world, while his still life compositions serve as meditations on the passage of time and the interplay of light and shadow. From the sun-drenched landscapes of Andalusia to the quiet serenity of Grimsby Docks, each painting invites contemplation and discovery.
