Your Apathy Is Contagious Painting

I’m a British painter, I use a semi-abstract approach depicting the human face. I am fascinated by the combination of thick, painterly marks combined with realistic drawing and mark making. Influenced by the most intense but unspoken human feelings, my work conveys all the emotions that are so hard to put into words. My heart, my soul, it all goes in. As a child, talking about how we felt just never happened (I don’t know why, and I think it was quite a common problem), but art was my escape, a place where I couldn’t be wrong or afraid of its response and it remains that way. Even now I still find words to be so inadequate, and need art to convey what is really meant. The work fills all the depths of emotion where I lack the words, or perhaps the knowledge of how to put them together properly.
