Right folks, quite a while away yet, but I'll be at Parallax Art Fair with a selection of paintings in tow, on the weekend of 1st to 3rd of July. In London. Wahey!
The work is concerned with depicting a hallucination like vision of evolution. The viewer is presented with an emphatic bombardment of conflicting elements, which aspire to achieve a level of ironic visual synergy.
The elements, which construct the painting, are referenced from an extensive repertoire of sources; cross-cultural and cross time scale which are selected as visual representations of the diversity we exist within. Such influences are used to manufacture a symbolic language of motifs which interact in an intriguing and visually impacting manner. This cohabitation of motifs provokes questions concerning societal differences and our shifts in values over time. A dense mixture of elegant design, stark architectural structure, and anarchic graffiti like marks are composed throughout a varying set of perspectives. A chaotic strand of visual challenges populate the canvas and are often interrupted by obscure biotic forms which lean toward the macabre suggesting the disturbing, perhaps accidental bi-product of rapid change.
