For me, the time I spend up to my elbows in oil
paints are precious hours spent exploring the
fascinating (sometimes frustrating: world in which
we live. It allows me the luxury of pondering the
great imponderables.
My mind buzzes with the question about the sheer
diversity of life on earth and critically, the science
that makes it all happen. From the big bang to
investigating our endless desire for speeding up,
travelling further, shouting louder. How even the
most innocuous word can become a cacophony of
adverting slogans that puncture our daily lives like
the rat-a-tat-at of machine gun fire.
Life is here to be celebrate and that's what I hope I
go through my work. Each painting is an
exploration into the conflict that exist between all
living things as they spar for attention and space.
Through organic forms, bold statements and rich
colours I challenge the subtle nuances between
showy beauty and retiring modesty, the bond
between predator and prey, the passing of time
frivolity and substance, and when it come down to
it the compromises we all have to make just to get
by.
Life , it seems, is never simple. But the beauty of it
all lies in its imperfections; the struggles, the
ironies. My aim is simply to get you looking,
smiling and thinking.
