A Brief Introduction

Paintings that seek to make the intangible tangible.

My practise as a figurative painter is seemingly at odds with my interest in the abstract. The concepts at play in the paintings derive from the search for and critique of a contemporary sublime. Ongoing research is bound by a number of threads that reoccur as conceptual motifs and materialise in the seductive surface of the painted image. The most pertinent thread enabling me to access the sublime are concepts of the 'real' informed through psychoanalysis. From this conceptual departure each painting becomes an opportunity of formal speculation. Through the process of making, fruitful outcomes materialise and enable nuances between works to challenge the academic impetus and point towards further development.
