About Me |
|
| Manley Beach, Sydney, Australia, 2007A decaying urban environment. Bombarded by media images. The face as a physical insight into the inner core of the self. School desk artwork. A failed society. Obsession. An unconscious need for heroes. Bus shelter Scratchitti. The movie close-up. Depression. The mirror reflex. Recycling old images. The war on terror. A need for humour. Alienation. Oversized heads. Rebelling against political correctness. Familiar facial territories. Toilet walls. 80's action stars. A sense of individual identity. Scars. Timeless epic struggles. Graffiti as art. 7000 distinct expressions. Remembering youth. Deep-seated prejudices. Iconic leaders and political figures. The fascination and curiosity we all have with our own image. Rude and crude text. Public personas. Isolation. Positive projection. A detailed world. The urge to leave a mark behind.I am inspired by graffiti; the way that it’s never finished, ever changing, always ongoing, built up over time in a continuous circle of vandalism that links past with present. My recent work explores and combines this common urge to leave a mark behind with a strong regard for the human face. Taking from street art I apply modern graffiti techniques, styles and concepts in combination with more traditional fine art methods of collage, painting and drawing to create strong, powerful and emotionally charged mixed media pieces. Artist influences include Gustav Klimt, Neil Buchanan, Banksy, John Virtue, Tony Hart, Shepard Fairey and Chuck Close.Part Man, Part Doodle | |
