About my work:
My work is primarily concerned with recording, analysing and commenting on the absurdity of the world in which we are condemned to exist. I attempt to do this using a narrative style of painting, with much use of symbolism and allegory.
My work has been heavily influenced by my continuing fascination with Art History, especially quattrocento Italian art, the Northern Renaissance and 20th century German Expressionism, as well as my background in Physics and Mathematics. There is often a significant auto-biographical influence in my painting.
In my work, I mostly use oil paint on linen canvas, often applied thinly in layers and glazes. I occasionally subsume text and other materials into the paint surface.
