Bar is a non-comissioned painting made in oil and pastel. One of the first few paintings to be made in the artists newly relocated third studio in south east London it could be attributed to any number of observational visits by the artist to central London drinking rooms on a weekday evening where the remnants of office workers and creatures once described as `not pulsating chunks of mutant flesh rendered soulless through the hell of desk jobbery´would go to consume juiced doom and hallucinogenic milk products a few hours in the dark to escape the truth of truths long enough to remain functioning lumps of dollar-slave. Contrary to assumptions that the face of the sitter has been conveyed in an impressionistic manner by the artist, it is in fact more or less a photographic rendering and owes its melty green appearance to excessive dodo cream snortation. This painting is made on a 50x40cm canvas, is unframed and does not include fixtures for hanging.

My work is about nothing. It is about yearning. It is about the lunatic pursuit of purpose and meaning, in empty spaces and dead ends, in brain-bending fantasy and fanatic ideology, be it religious, political, occult or otherwise. It is about hiding and lying and the myth of progress. The figures I paint are lost, in rooms without doors and voids without walls, beyond the vaguest glimmer of reality with no hope of return, exactly as they would wish it were they ever again able even to perceive the notion. They are symbolic of this moment, its total capitulation to impenetrable narcissism and shameless indulgence of base instinct oblivious to consequence, to the hell-bent suicide of consumer capitalism, their mutations manifestations of dying spirit and sickness of soul, of their owners repressed fears, inadequacies, distant desires and inescapable solitude. They long for what they can never have without deceiving themselves. Worse than tragic, their movements are meaningless. My work is a meditation on this predicament, every piece either an attempted exorcism of futility or a desperate grasping at fleeting beauty and momentary loss of self-conciousness to said pleasure. A tangible solidification of the creeping nihilism that permeates every atom of this age, it is a view of life as mere spectacle or aimless chaos and an exploration of the minds ceaseless rejection of such. And ultimately it is about how it feels to exist without faith in anything beyond love. My work is about nothing.
