About the Artist

The set of paintings is about music, Japanesism and punk surrealism. The former is primarily about aesthetics, a fusing of modernist patterning, neo pop and graffiti as parallels for music through painted form.

The dominant aesthetic stream is fused further towards a neo-pop identity. This is a Brit-art neo-pop strain, one which pushes further into post-modern ideas, identity fragmentation and the fusing of low and high art ideals.

A section of the paintings absorb advertising, as designs to be replicated for aesthetic value and as a concept vehicle utilising the play of ideas.

The paintings are about identity, fragments of youth culture, punk, death, war, coolness and heavy techno music including drum-n-bass or metal rock.. The shallowness of the media is obvious yet its depth is also apparent.
