This painting is based upon the story of the Trojan Horse. In the story the Achaeans gifted the horse to their enemy and when they slept, attacked them. Here, in place of the horse, the Achaean soldiers are exiting the space shuttle. from wikipedia: the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse at the behest of Odysseus, and hid a select force of men inside, including Odysseus himself. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night, the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of darkness. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city, ending the war. Metaphorically, a "Trojan horse" has come to mean any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected bastion or place. A malicious computer program that tricks users into willingly running it is also called a "Trojan horse" or simply a "Trojan". I was interested in linking NASA with the Trojan Horse legend, as the description says; the 'target' invites the foe into a secure bastion. If this bastion is the mind then the enemy is a deceiver. NASA is a trick employed against people. Further the cartoon character (augmented fiction/ the unreal) here is 'Mickey Marx' a depiction of 'cultural Marxism'. This obscures the 'storyline' of the painting, ie the soldiers coming out of the Trojan Horse.

I use recurring themes based upon my own perceptions of the world we live in.Realism can feature in my work sometimes but i'm generally driven by abstraction. The process has to be enjoyable, quick and not labored. Creative play forms a large part of the artworks. I was influenced by Picasso's 'unlearning' process of imitating child like drawing. What are we trying to say as an artist is something crucial to the work. My theme is generally focused on 'trust' and 'deception'. I'm traditional in the sense that I like the 'format' of painting, print and sculpture. My style evolved from splicing contrasts together, Id make a stencil, push some acrylic through it instead of spray. Then Id paint over them so that they became partially lost in the painting. This was to recreate a visual way of showing how things are hidden. In the same way our body has an inward working of lungs and the intestines. Also how in the world there are things obscured within events. These events draw our attention but the surface of them hides something deeper. So the work in its composition conveys hidden things, sometimes I'll use childish imagery to obscure something sinister. I might do this to show how a simple way of thinking hides something more complicated. Its complexity could be intimidating. There are lots of allegorical meanings too, I might show a thorny rose for example. This would indicate good and evil. You might be intrigued as to why Id write ' life and death' on a lion's tongue? This would show the power of the tongue.
