My paintings reflect my love for traditional Pop Art, street art and music. Using a signature colour palette I like to paint in layers on brushed metal. I use a combination of spray paint, acrylic and then a final layer which is screen printed. My main inspiration is music and i like to paint portraits of rappers and rockers and rollers. I start by building up layers of stencilled shapes and fluid strokes of spray paint to create a lively background. I then like to define the characteristics of the subject using a screen printed top layer. I've developed a technique of painting and printing onto brushed aluminium which allows light to reflect and interact with the surface. My paintings are lacquered in gloss for protection and then framed in a stylish wooden floater frame ready to hang.
