ARTIST STATEMENT: His visual practice explores the irony and strangeness of the everyday, in the form of monumental images. Central to the work lays an exploration of loss and representation, which is developed out of observations on the human condition and the environment, bridging the gap between reality and fantasy. An intrinsic aspect of his artistic practice is the use of light and colour and his images ultimately encompass an aesthetic, defined through a dark, colourful and expressionistic tailoring.
