Fools Feast Painting

b. 1987 Lives and works in London Represented by The International 3 gallery My work is predominantly concerned with painting's history and how that affects its position today. I see the history within painting as part of a vocabulary or tool which can now be called upon to help develop the language's future. Using a traditional Carnivaleque idea of structure, reference and mockery as a framework, I try to create visual jokes based on perception. Through contradiction based on expectation, the paintings fail in fulfilling the potential of the eluded to tradition and perhaps a new awkward space emerges.
