PAINTINGS (page 1) page 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 C
By combining art historical elements with
contemporary figures, I attempt to create narrative paintings
that function in a revisionist manner, commenting on contemporary
culture. I have found that the ambiguity and sense of displacement
arising from these juxtapostions can appeal to viewers in ways
that I cannot have foreseen, and I find myself increasingly drawn
to elements where the relationships are less clear. The non-verbal
aspect of painting appeals to me, the idea of entering into an
image without having words, at least initially, to explain what's
going on.
