This is ancient land, and the evidence is in the soil; lots of worked flint and other artifacts. This is where I feel most connected, deeply rooted.
Rooted in the local landscape, Neale’s paintings offer an imaginative engagement with place, blending memory, atmosphere, and intuition to create spaces that feel both familiar and timeless.
Each work unfolds through layers of land, time, and material. Built with oil, cold wax, dry pigment, and tissue-paper collage, the surfaces carry traces of process and reflection. The paintings hold the romance of the remote, the sparse, and the ancient.
Drawing on what Alfred Watkins described as a ‘flood of ancestral memory’, Neale enters a terrain where time collapses and the land carries the echoes of countless ages — the contours of time itself. Earth, fire, air, and water become pathways for connection and contemplation.
