About the Artist

Mass visual information is an accepted part of our day-to-day existence. Television, video, film and advertisements have become our emotional fix; the characters take us on a fictitious journey that affects our psyche in different ways.

“The context within which we experience an event will determined how that event is encoded and retained.”
(Oxford Companion to the Mind. - Richard L Gregory. -1987)

The media, with its appropriation of painted images from the past masters, has created a specific genre that provokes an audience into a stereotypical form of interpretation.

My work is concerned with the re-introduction of these images as paintings in a contemporary context, enhancing their ambiguity and giving them a true physical presence.
