New Generation Gallery 2016

The Paintings are about the day to day activities of being in the studio and the Quixotic nature of the working process. The characters in the paintings are ones that I chose to bring in to the studio for narrative reasons and are involved in a theatrical conflict between abstraction and figuration, play-fullness and melancholy, hopefulness and despair.
