Flamingos Collage

Materials- On Board. Wood Cut Outs. Sculpted Clay. Acrylic and Oil Paint. Finger Marks, Dripping Matt Paints. Spray Paint. Washes, Wiping and Erasing Paint. Description Of Painting- Flamingos flight for survival amongst oil and residue left from the rapid growth of human kind. Transportation is a strong theme in my work and in this painting. The desire for humans to spread their breed and expand at the cost of other organisms.ie; The Roman Roads. I experiment with the idea of animals living along side us and making the best of their situation, Beauty in aggression, Triumph over confusion. This is all connected to the emotional state of ourselves and the planet and the beautiful discoveries we can learn from, from other species. Going back to basics. Animals are a strong source of inspiration in my work. Ripping all our preconceived ideas of how we should be, and what we have to do, to what we are and how magnificent that is. This simplistic approach to life, is mirrored in my application of paint.and the marks made by sensitive and sometimes quite fast and childish movements. Showing that every action has a consequence how ever small or insignificent one may see it. I want the viewer to be aware of their own presence within the painting, sculpture painting allows this significantly as while the viewer mover around the room of the painting so does the light and shadows of the work. I want the viewer to think about themselves in context to the painting and the world they live in, physically and emotionally. The world is something we can maintain but we can not control, this is evident in my abstract expressionistic style of painting. Artist Statement- My work embodies creation through movement and action. Layered by continual development it evolves alongside the artist; my feelings, experiences, insecurities and ideas. The paintings symbolise birth and its struggle; its frantic, stunning, liberating, frightening and in-powering journey. My work embodies life through emotion and experience, a personal process as well as a collective observation upon the world around us. Protection and connection carry us forward to new horizons, however intimidating these may be we must move forward. You are born with the desire to create but painting is more than the artist, they are merely portals for something superior to shine through.
