QVB on George Painting

I am an Artist as well as an Industrial Designer; I explore perceptions of reality through two styles of art making: detailed graphite drawings and semi-abstract paintings depicting an alternate reality created by thought. Using a stylisation technique, I develop and refine specific visual elements such as line, colour and shape to create a poetic reconstruction and simplified essence of the original subject and shifting its contextual meaning. Distorting how we see the world by using vibrant and bold colours to stimulate the emotions of the observer, exploring the idea that if our emotions create our reality then perhaps a change in emotion will lead to a change in how we experience reality.
