We are all victims
of the information age- everyday we’re bombarded by millions of images and
media clips. I am really intrigued by this phenomenon and it manifests in my
work through an extremely diverse and contrasting array of themes. I’ll paint a series of Human
Insects and follow it with portraits of nude celebrities. The unifying element throughout
my body of work is my stylization. I’ve taken bits and pieces from various art
movements and kind of created my own genre-- part anime and part surrealism, painted
in a realistic manner, with elements of modern, touches of color block and
field… and definitely heavily influenced by pop. What would I call it? ‘Hyper-modernism’?
‘Neo-surrealist cartoon’? I’m not
sure, but it creates these curious juxtapositions which I find fascinating- I am
mesmerized by contrasts.
Please to enjoy the show.
