statement:
|
My work sees the battle between designer, poet & artist plus human & computer technology to create highly colourful paintings, collages, digital canvases & projections for indoor & outdoor use.
Bringing opposites & attraction to the forefront of the viewer, from edgy scratched black & white drawings, recycling artworks, to vast & vibrant canvases, projections. As a celebrator of life & brought up as a Catholic in Manchester my initial outlook of the world was through this establishment till leaving school. After studying Art in Manchester & Liverpool, I travelled across Europe & America working for different fashion-houses in both continents, working under the constraints of other people. I now enjoy the freedom & expression I now have within my work combining freehand & digital imagery, always in a series of images & words related to a theme or project made for public viewing. |
