Discombobulated Painting

My Visceral Portraits are inspired by the world we live in today. A world vastly different to the one I knew as a child. A world where instant gratification is the order of the day and everything seems accelerated, impermanent and often meaningless. It feels chaotic and I find myself strongly influenced by this. To reflect this current state of being, I work with materials like spray paint, charcoal, pencils, turpentine and acrylics. All of these materials can dry within minutes, which allows me the opportunity to change images at the drop of a hat. It also allows me too work fast. I don’t think, I just do. Creating without expectation. My art is not reliant on a cognitive process. I believe over thinking can destroy originality. My faces aren’t about realism, perfection, gender or race. They explore and attempt to capture those qualities and emotions often hidden from view. Most pieces have a directness about them, yet are underpinned with a tangible fragility. Ambiguous features can morph from immense beauty into utter despair, with hints of the eyes breaking the surface beneath layers of paint, charcoal, turpentine and expressive brush strokes. These are paintings inspired by either a world, or an artist gone mad.
