Acrylic on canvas, UNSTRETCHED - shipped in a tube. Signed on the front. This piece is a little play on the construction 'Dogman' role... circa 1970. What can I say... their loyalty... their curiosity... I LOVE DOGS. Perhaps it's a little deeper than that... I'm forever fascinated by the domestication of animals and especially how inate a dog's desire is to integrate with people, hence Australia's most iconic urban landscape. This original is 100% hand painted acrylic and ink. My passion is my own form of 'pop art'... taking snippets of popular culture and 'framing' personal experiences and passions. I think it's important to emphasize, I choose NOT to use stencils or printed collages; these works are all freehand, free flowing original and unique compositions. I'm not going for perfection (well, that's what I keep reminding myself), this is 'first hand' storytelling. They take a great deal of planning, I work countless hours in my journal and on an iPad and desktop, simplify iconic images, contextualising, reworking and then compiling into large paintings using semi-gloss acrylic paint, markers and charcoal. *Please note any in situ images of this artwork is to offer decor, installation and framing examples only and is not to exact scale and is UNSTRETCHED & UNFRAMED so please check the dimensions before purchasing.

2023, 22 & 21 - Bluethumb Art Prize Finalist. I'm about the narrative. I want my images to unfold… invite you to explore. My recent work explores communities. I’m fascinated with the conversation between architecture, pop iconography and human development; in particular, the desire for companionship and the narratives and assumptions we make purely from our observations. Coming from a design background, using ink, markers, airbrush and palette knives - I rarely use conventional brushes. I strive to engage with a restricted palette, simplified imagery and by 'flipping' tropes and cliches. To give you a brief background, my wife and I currently work as full time Artists in our studios in beautiful Port Douglas. I’ve spent most of my professional career working in television and print media as an editor, camera operator and graphic designer. Much of this has been based out of the U.K., working, travelling and experiencing art in Europe, the Middle East, the US and Latin America with my amazing wife, Cheryl, an insanely talented professional artist of more than 25 years. She opened my eyes to Antoni Tapes, Ben Nicholson, Ralph Steadman, Cy Twombly and John Olsen, the list is endless and the experiences are priceless. I can credit her for encouraging me to take my musings more seriously and stepping out of the shadows - have a squizz at her Saatchi profile Cheryl Harrison! So, I hope you enjoy my paintings. They are meticulously executed and are of a quality that will hold their own in any space, contact me if you have any questions.
