About The Artwork

Pop classicism. I looked again, and looked outside the box. I was drawn again to the comic books that I loved as a kid, and that I later enjoyed again through The Watchmen, and The Dark Knight Rides Again. I had been taught to reject these artists, through the art school system, but now I thought, no, they’re cool. The narratives in old master paintings, often remind me loosely, of the superhero, Marvel comic books, I loved as a kid. What is the difference between superhero tales and the tales of gods and Demi gods? I think more similarities than differences. I liked that link, in the human psyche, for the fantastical, and the god like. So, particularly the X Men, but also Spiderman and the Silver Surfer, became figures in my work, out of an interest in the stories that drive us, and out of respect for the artists, that worked on them; John Buscema is my favorite.

I was born in London UK, but have spent the last 19yrs, living on the tropical island of Koh Phangan. My work, is colorful, like my life has been. My art has always been a celebration of life, from art school, to the present. They are about what I see, and feel. They are about the human condition, and a fascination, with a heroic struggle. They are about love, and they are about form. I have a strong link to western art, taking a circuitous, route, from early art, through classicism, modernism to contemporary art. I reference, and draw from these influences, but also I breathe in culture, in all it’s forms, and from my rich, eventful life. I wish to communicate through my work. I hope you understand.
