When The Boa Wore Stripes To The Masquerade Painting

I have worked on this ever evolving body of artworks since 2014 which brings together imaginary multifarious ecosystems of biomorphic elements alongside the abiotic forms cohesively into a state of terrarium imitating conglomerates. This series – Alien landscapes, explores our contemporary age of mutating & morphing ecosystems. Of the ever increasing noise and everything morphing into everything else, “contaminating”, intermingling, evolving, and resulting in lush diverse ecosystems of plankton, plastic, Pan’s labyrinth and jelly beans. Of microplastics in our blood streams swimming alongside what may have been the last sigh of a stegosaurus as it watched fire fall from the sky, the thinning of the veil between the real & the surreal and the biotic morphing with the inanimate & the non degradable. With these works I allow organic destiny to kick in. It is an exercise in following the breadcrumb trail and connecting the dots, allowing the art to flourish organically like an overgrown lush terrarium or a coral reef, then sit akin a tealeaf reader, mapping splatters and drips, etching a web of lines, or painting clusters of fungi, flora and rock candy intermingling with solid graphic elements which are a representation of the inanimate, and seeing the work to its completion. Some of these artworks have grown complex personalities of their own evolving over the years, as I have added new detail to it, creating a new story over a story, resulting in art that is richly emotive and complex. The materials I use to create these artworks staying true to theme are a mix of media like acrylic paints, oil paints, ink, and sometimes also latex, paper and metallic leaf. And the many layers of color and line drawings are set using various application techniques including layers of fluid paint pours that are the most organic and unpredictable of layers, spray painted elements, various resist media and the more structured layers of line drawings This series is grounded in the strange and fantastical. It is work meant to be a celebration of the ever evolving, and ever enchanted everyday in life, alongside beautiful dilapidation.
