View from Kenwood House 150x100cm Mixed media on canvas 2017 “During the day, the view was often residents blocking the entrance to the estate to stop construction workers gaining access, a protest against Lambeth’s regeneration plans for Brixton which had already seen half of the estate demolished and replaced with private housing. However, in the evening, I used witness the most amazing sunsets from the window of my old bedroom, slash, studio in Brixton” The painting shows a view from the artists former studio space (where the painting was started), on the third floor of Kenwood House, Somerleyton, Brixton. The building has since been demolished and replaced with homes affordable to those on incomes too high to entitle them to social housing, but too low to buy or rent privately. As a result, a new, more affluent demographic have been moving in, whilst many of those born and raised in Brixton and who would like to stay, are finding they have little choice but to move elsewhere.

I am a London-born artist. The often regional themes in my works have in common the a fascination with the relationship between people, places and cultures. Heavily influenced by his life in South London, the paintings can be recognised by my vehement painterly technique and unusual pallet; natural materials mixed with thick textured paints, sand, oils and butters, overworked with charcoal, chalk, oil-bar and other mediums. With its emphasis on layer rich canvasses which provide a setting for paint and natural elements to come together, my paintings can be seen as a kind of urban abstract expressionism, deeply rooted in his responses towards growing up in a Jamaican family in London.
