About The Artwork
I've been looking at political portraits, specially of people who had been popular and had fallen from favour. I also wanted to have fun with the painting, so I made a hole for a cigarette and photographed myself in my allotment with the painting as a mask. I hope the viewer will appreciate the delicacy and lightness of the paintwork, and feel amused by the absurdist character of the work. At the same time, it is a memento mori, an image that has become detached from its original intention

United Kingdom
I make figurative paintings and sculptures inspired by historical styles such as Victorian Gothic, Chinoiserie and 19th century India, constructing life-size painted cutouts from wood. My work is inspired by Indian miniature painting, Pop art, Commedia dell'Arte and folklore art. The cutouts are arranged in various contexts - as paintings on walls, in clusters, like stage sets. I was short-listed for the Contemporary British Painting Prize last year, and am currently working with Arts Council funding, the 'Develop Your Creative Practise' with mentors Sacha Craddock and Manick Govinda.
