These paintings, I hope, go some way to exploring the complex relationship between our human form in the physical world and the desire we all have to express ourselves as individuals in an increasingly complex and surreal world.

 

In them I hope to draw together the nebulous concepts we have of the ‘real’, the ‘not so real’, the ‘unreal’ and the ‘surreal.


In some the ‘real’ is taken from mythology, some from antiquity and some from those who have been happy to sit, lie, etc. for me.
