| 关于此艺术家 |
My aim is to create an atmospheric painting using brush-marks that have a presence and immediacy that captures the emotive vitality of the subject.
Vulnerability in the outer and inner beauty and ugliness of humanity in the space we live in is something that fascinates me and continues to put fuel to the fire of my passion for painting.
Inspirations:Marlene Dumas, Lucien Freud, Max Beckman, Francis Bacon, Willem de Kooning, Cindy Sherman, Tracey Emin, Robert Motherwell, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alexander Guy, Frank Auerbach, Gary Hume, Lawrence Atkinson ,Yves Klein, Umberto Boccioni, Salvador Dali, Alister Ross, the list is never ending... |

To the Beat ll
2007 Oil on canvas 181 x 121 cms |

This work originally started out as a painting of a photograph of a friend. I found the composition of this image not to be working so used a negative of a magazine advert and layered it over the image to look like a face was being reborn through music/art/religion to reach a higher level of tranquility. There is a hand from a higher power holding that face down so as not to float away or forget who we are at the end of the day. As some form of reality needs to hold us in place.It also can be seen as the dj working the crowd through their music. This is what it means to me, hence the title. Whatever it means to you... |

Image cut out of 1977 National Geographic magazine of ancient tribes in Africa. Thought the painting of the head of the woman would look good floating on a white gloss background. |
