This particular work comments on the fake persona that many people portray of themselves on social media, in order to make their lives appear more interesting to others. It invites the viewer to peer in on the real lives we all living that we keep hidden from public. These new works form part of a series that I am currently exploring with a driving narrative concerning morality, the future, the past and the present. We are heading into very dark times with no light ahead of us, these images in my paintings portray a very stark view of the world we are living in, they are simply the reflection in the mirror I am holding up in front of society. We are living in a world where everything is being automated, options to deal with a real person are non existant, customer service is only present in the form of an AI chat Bot, society rewards stupid people with "likes" idiots with zero talent are called "social influencers,, there is only biased reporting via news agencies to follow a pre decided narritive in order to keep the masses living in fear, and people watch other people watch TV. We are now devolving as a race as we continue to become hypnotised by our phones and photograph our food. The future is here, the robots have taken over, and the enemy is in our pockets and homes.

Defining the work of artist JESSE DISS simply as pop art is something of a simplification. He uses a variety of materials and mixed media in line with his own unique perspective. Akin to many of the great artists of this genre before him, he has an impish loathing of today’s mainstream popular culture – and, as such, enjoys commenting on the society in which he lives. He brings an irreverent but acutely observed edge of humour to all his work, and embraces a neo-modernist kitsch - but genuine - love of colour to express himself. He’s a true polymath - his mediums are far-ranging (music, animation, mixed media, wood or metal) and his influences as diverse as a vivid dream he had or an advertisement he may have seen. Jesse has a passion for vintage cars and a strong love of the aesthetics from the ‘50s & ‘60s in general - particularly the fashion, the music and the cocktails (!), which seep into his work: "I get a kick out of educating people about underground music, culture and other parameters from different eras. My very immodest hope is to influence others with my art, adding a new element to their lives and their environment - something that might make them question their perception of reality" - says Jesse. Fun and authenticity are at the heart of everything he does, and his genuinely underground take on the world has little time for pretension: for Jesse, art is always “the thing: You do it if you believe it. I don’t want to hide my work behind unintelligible concepts to try and make it saleable - once I’ve made it, it exists.” That is the very real alchemy of Jesse Diss’s charm - he lives in almost a Carrollean Wonderland of the beautiful, the absurd and the grotesque; and his view of the world really is his own... it’s just fortunate he chose to share it with us. Inspiration “I’ve often wondered how my head contains the millions of things that stimulate it - I love cinema and can sit and stare, often in bewildered awe, at the beauty of films by Stanley Kubrick or Michael Gondry - theirs is an imagination that knows no bounds. I love comics and science fiction in general, as it’s so unfettered by boundaries; punk rock and rock & roll too, because they changed so many things. www.artgallery.co.uk/artist/jesse_diss http://www.leigharttrail.com/index.html http://www.wearestudio3.co.uk/full-online-catalogue.html
