About The Artwork

In my quest to learn more skin painting techniques i chose to paint people with the most amount of skin on show. I find conventional beauty standards boring and made worse by overly sexualised magazine covers, music videos, tv etc... I just like the juxtaposition of unconventional beauty in a space usually reserved for conventional beauty. Large, fat, obese people...what ever you want to call them, are so much more appealing to paint and generate a level of interest for me that your average 'magazine cover' model simply doesn't.

I’m interested in portraits with a difference. I intentionally distort features as I draw, then when it comes to painting, I try to bring them back to reality. Sometimes I bring them too far too reality and the painting loses its interest, and sometimes I don’t manage to bring them back far enough and the painting remains too ‘cartoony’. However when a painting has the juxtaposition of both and a foot in each realm, this is when I judge if a portrait has been a success. A classically painted portrait with a twist of something else!
