About The Artwork

In Greek mythology the function of the labyrinth was to hold the minotaur. The minotaur, often a symbol of the struggle between the natural and unnatural, the civilised and the uncivilised, sits in a fetal position on outsize deflated sunflower-like plants. It has the head of a highland cattle, its vision obstructed, looking a little like Tenniel’s Caterpillar in Alice but facing the viewer. A small cumulus cloud floats above its head, a portend to undefined trouble. The flowers are in a dimly lit undergrowth of hogweed and wild teasel, while the scale, time of day, and meaning are open to interpretation.

He graduated with a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design from Middlesex University and has exhibited in the ICA in London and the Künstlerhaus, Vienna. Prints of his drawings from his book The Inkspot Monologues which sold worldwide and were exhibited in the Freud Gallery in London. He uses surrealism and humour to satirise the human condition, environmental justice and societal issues. He works primarily in oil paints and he uses motifs and layers of iconography from the natural, the classical world and visual memory. In each work, he experiments using the language of form, colour, shape, space, and volume. These works explore the dichotomies of childhood and adulthood, the conscious and unconscious, and the seen and unseen in various emphasis and combinations.  Biography He exhibited paintings with the Henry Boxer Gallery, London, alongside Scottie Wilson and George Grosz, the Espacio Gallery, 2017, Shoreditch, London, the Churchgate Gallery, Porlock, 2018, curated by artist David Harrison (Victoria Miro Gallery), alongside other artists, including Peter Doig, Issac Julien CBE RA, and Abigal Lane.
