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. From this conceptual departure each painting becomes an opportunity of formal speculation. Through a process of making, fruitful outcomes materialise, enabling nuances between works to challenge the academic impetus.
