Glitter and Doom Painting

My figurative paintings and collages combine playful imagery with darker themes- male and female sexuality, violence and decay. I explore the conflict between abstraction and representation. The scenes are a merging of myth, memory and imagination with recurring motifs from my birthplace in the Caribbean and gritty London interiors. My paint application competes for dominance with the narrative and I hope a dark humour comes through the chaos of shapes and colour.
