“My works are purely abstract, conveying the energetic and chaotic reality of the working-class man. With my work, I completely reject any sense of pictorially recording the world but rather capture the anarchistic expression of an abandoned generation’s reality. Inspired by British punk music, my works capture a sense of primitive energy for overruling and overcoming tradition and boredom. Just as 1970s punk aimed to disrupt British society, my work aims to disrupt the course of contemporary art practices and return the act to the primal instincts of man and beast.
This feral instinct of chaos and brutality is expressed with the use of fluid paint, tracking and recording the velocity of the physical action. The practices employed emphasise this dismissal of historic tradition, using mixed media elements to construct unique marks and textures. Simply put, I want to explore mark-making with a means of immediacy and brutality.”
