June 2018. This painting is one of a series made in response to the coalition bombing of Raqqa, Syria, in 2018, when civilian deaths were counted as a necessary part of winning the war quickly. The paintings were made as impressions of images given global exposure on world news channels. I intentionally chose images with attractive aesthetic qualities, in order to provoke reflection on the transformation, and a dialogue with the viewer. At first glance, the paintings look like standard impressions of desert lands. Closer examination reveals grim skeletons of ruined cities, and wounded faces showing fear, defeat and anger – a premonition that bombing is not the end of the story.

I use creativity to explore my identity, to interpret and meditate on mind, body, nature, the world. I paint and draw and write and sometimes combine all three in digital mediums. Some of my recent work reflects the social and political reality. I've been drawing from life in pastels, pencils and charcoal since my teens. I've been painting since 2007, and have been involved in artists groups in Manchester, Zimbabwe and Brighton. I'm a Dad and I live in Brighton. My parents were both artists.
