About The Artwork

Vintage toys fly in all directions against a dark indigo background. A motionless besuited man faces the viewer against a pale blue background with a heavy chiaroscuro dividing the picture into two. The man’s head is encased in a coiled biomass, while an anthropomorphic bee flies across his head, giving the viewer a wary glance. The comic-shaped lapel flower is made up of veins, as if offering an insight to the man’s inner self, as his face, which is the central organ of senses, is hidden. The veins of the ornamental lapel flower are echoed in the flowers floating, by his head. Like the works of Odilon Redon, the intention is to inspire and rather like music, to place us ‘in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined.’

He graduated with a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design from Middlesex University and has exhibited in the ICA in London and the Künstlerhaus, Vienna. Prints of his drawings from his book The Inkspot Monologues which sold worldwide and were exhibited in the Freud Gallery in London. He uses surrealism and humour to satirise the human condition, environmental justice and societal issues. He works primarily in oil paints and he uses motifs and layers of iconography from the natural, the classical world and visual memory. In each work, he experiments using the language of form, colour, shape, space, and volume. These works explore the dichotomies of childhood and adulthood, the conscious and unconscious, and the seen and unseen in various emphasis and combinations.  Biography He exhibited paintings with the Henry Boxer Gallery, London, alongside Scottie Wilson and George Grosz, the Espacio Gallery, 2017, Shoreditch, London, the Churchgate Gallery, Porlock, 2018, curated by artist David Harrison (Victoria Miro Gallery), alongside other artists, including Peter Doig, Issac Julien CBE RA, and Abigal Lane.
