Statement
|
|
Since the early 1990's my work has evolved by drawing from several styles ranging from surrealism, art naveu, oriental, and comic illustration. The most dominant influence has been that of the surrealists, creating recognisable other-worldy scenes and objects enframed by simple to more complex borders. The major focus of my work is the use of color, often very vibrant acrylics, allowing the subject matter to be explored after the tone has been set.
I usually work on several pieces at once consisting of a few smaller paintings and one larger. The process is largely subconscious allowing the work to change, sometimes drastically, from the initial sketch to the final painting.
While meaning is never intentional, the occasional use of archetypes gives the feeling of familiarity.
