ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Carl makes work that sits on that fine line between comedy and tragedy with a pinch of the absurd, The Animals Pretending to be Other Animals series was inspired by the virtual world where people create their own avatars, making them as fantastical or as ‘real life’ as desired. These are places where true identity, gender, class or race are concealed and one can present oneself as excessively or conservatively as the games parameters allow. Reduced it to its base level, in the virtual world we are all ‘animals pretending to be something or someone else’. Another point of view would be that are all extending ourselves, our identities, into role playing in real life, males can play females, females play males, gender doesn't have to mean anything and it can also mean everything, all relevant to the person role-playing and creating the avatar. Digitally created and printed onto Hahnemuhle 310gsm FineArt paper with pigment inks.

Carl makes work that sits on that fine line between comedy and tragedy with a pinch of the absurd. Works include animals pretending to be other animals who use found objects with a splash or two of paint, animals in the act of comedic suicide and another body which plays on the semantics of ice-cream. Dripsters are bold and colourful animals with their clear markings reduced down to individual drips of paint, which appear bar code like in their simplicity. The most recent work develops the Dripsters into super vibrant duotone prints focusing on animals with horns and tusks. His work has featured in several publications including Art of England and Artists and Illustrators, it has also being selected on a number of occasions for the promotion of a number of organisations. His work has also been collected by a number of celebrities and sold work Worldwide.
