Purposely unlearning the skills and creative process, Fawcett approaches his work with a child's free spirit, He embraces error and irregularity as key elements of his oeuvre. He continuously strives to create distance between his adult self and the final result, realising complex concepts and finding meaning and potential in the banal with the freedom of a child to express this. The speed at which he works often captures the energy, fed by his music which in turn often transposes into a powerful kinetic energy in his painting. His playlist can also inspire the titles of his works. The focus of the painting, often a motif, may take seconds to compose, then may be reconsidered and over-painted entirely and complete by the end of a 45 minute album, achieving a one-hit composition whenever he can. This seemingly chaotic and hurried process, is built on an obsessive amount of internalizing, and looking into recent obsessions with family relationships and the way they resurface.

Artist Statement: Fawcett’s painting practice explores visual dichotomies - concrete versus abstract, discipline versus freedom, and order versus chaos. Having successfully carved a niche earlier in his career as a figurative painter, a turning point came when teaching adults with learning disabilities. The profound joy that his students showed in their approach to painting, was life affirming and hugely inspirational. Tension is created by conflicting renderings of the spontaneous and the deliberate, the conscious and the unconscious, or the strange and familiar. The resulting image is one that appears familiar but resists recognition. At first glance, his paintings introduce new forms of communication between irregular lines, naive marks offset by regular forms. His work is characterised by immediacy of a painting process, working with the urgency of decision making along with more considered composition.
