My work seeks to develop a sense of ‘Otherness’ through the medium of the classical female Nude. I work in oils and use glazing techniques, and my style reflects the heritage of the Renaissance that I love and wish to promote in the contemporary art scene. My work uses the classical Nude as a medium with which I construct a space to project on, and form an awareness of something that jars with reality. This Otherness is present in the confrontation in my paintings, that I hope provokes the viewer to think and interrogate both the image and himself.

Work of art I would like to makeI would like to develop the ideas I began addressing with my diptych Oracles through a larger triptych on the Fates of Antiquity. This work would involve one figure per canvas, with a line running across the composition as a reminder of the mythical characters they are named after; these women would be aware of the viewer’s gaze, and the challenge of this piece would be to maintain an intensity of interaction between three figures amongst themselves and the public, without forgetting the symbolical significance of the Fates’ role in mythology, between danger and hope. This triptych would aim to have an Otherness that would allow the contemporary viewer to reflect on their own lives when confronted with the work – the fates still posing questions in the contemporary milieu. |
