During my residency in Barcelona late last year I began to develop pictorial language
concerned with representation of complex figurative forms. These paintings explore
ideas found in social media, continuous streams of visual information colliding with
opinion, challenging our perceptions. Also, feeding on our own visual appetite, informing
our ongoing algorithm.
The works themselves are constructs. In shuttered effect, flipping through the pages of
a magazine or scrolling on a smartphone, penny arcade peep show.
This painting is an extension of my current body of work. The monumental forms echo
classical sculpture, rising on a dais. Juxtaposing a visual narrative of contemporary
socio-political themes with personal iconography, in the form of reoccurring motifs. I
have also continued to explore themes of sexuality present within social platform. I am in a sense tracing the human
condition.
