The Machiavellian Melanistic Malkin... Painting

My avant-garde work explores the relationship between the universality of myth and Jungian archetypes. Some of my work also explores the relationship between pre-Raphaelite tenets and multimedia experiences which brings out a hegemony of greed and a sense of nihilism. With influences as diverse as Derrida and Roy Lichtenstein, new synergies are distilled from both dialogues which mundanely constructed and transcendentally structured. From the time I was a pre-adolescent, I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the universe and by the essential unreality of meaning and existence. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corrupted into a dialectic of defeat, leaving only a sense of decadence and the inevitability of a new order with a cacophony of futility. As subtle derivatives and spatial momentary forms become distorted through emergent and personal practices, the viewer is left with a tribute to the outposts of our cultural era and with a hymn to the possibilities of our existence shaped by insights into the inaccuracies of our worldly existence in the matrix.
