Janus Print

My work primarily focuses on how masculinity is shaped and perceived through the loss of traditional livelihoods and the decay of the environments they once inhabited. I often like to draw parallels with those other lost and receding worlds of superstition and religion. I am primarily a self-taught artist and work in the traditional media of oils, charcoal and chalk. The work is figurative though I am keen to introduce elements of ‘accident’ whether, or not, these are serendipitous. Many of the subjects are characters playing a part which is hopefully conveyed in the image and the title. I live and work in South London.
