Colossi Painting

My work reflects the dialogue between the progression of art history against the natural world which produced the materials it is made from. Fragments, historical sculptures and motifs are reframed – mimicking as we do when curating by placing in a museum, domestic, or public setting – against natural, inhospitable and unforgiving landscapes, reflecting their journey against the constant. New composite scenes are thereby made using spolia from the past, just as historical precedents – notably the enduring theme of classicism – are continually repurposed and reimagined as history progresses. Two colossi, bronze ancient sculptures of giant proportions, are swallowed up by ominous smoke cloud, evoking the destructive nature of both Vesuvius which destroyed Pompeii and a mass of Roman civilisation in AD79, and of the continuing natural threat against the survival of works by humans, regardless of mighty size.
