A series of figurative works presenting fighters in various forms.
Drawing inspiration from the moving figures of Universal Everything and the paintings of
Helen Saunders and the Vorticists, the work is inspired by the aesthetic of old beat-em-up
video games – Street Fighter II, Tekken 3, Double Dragon.
It draws upon the romanticism of epic battles recalled, myth and legend, explores ‘Brits
Abroad’ culture and the boxer as hard-man and working class hero. It focuses on the
immigrant as fighter and frowns upon the perils of illegal immigration.
