Artist Statement:
Whilst studying for a (BA)
Hons degree in Fine Art at
London Guildhall University, I
became a fan of artistic
approaches that involved the
simplification and stripping
down of compositions and forms
to their fundamental
properties to provide a
geometric network of shapes
that combined would create a
whole coherent shape. Along
with feeling an affiliation
with movements including Pop
Art, Futurism and Cubism,
artists such as Prampolini, De
Lempicka, Braque, Lichenstein,
Freud and Picasso are all
artists I consider a great
influence in my style.
My am also very interested in
Pop Art both as an expression
socially and also
artistically, both in terms of
its brash attitude towards
it’s subject, and it’s lack of
fear to be a strong presence
visually.
I feel my paintings are a
bi-product of all of these
approaches, a subconscious
attempt to produce a vibrant
composition through the
combination of deconstructed
forms with dynamic colour. I
feel I have an ever-evolving
style and would consider
painting without being
exploratory of other
techniques and styles to be a
failing as a developing
painter.
I have recently exhibited my
work in a gallery space in
Islington, London (Microzine,
March 2004).
