  • Landscape Study 2

    Here is a collection of buildings and artworks that have informed this painting. I think the painting itself is fairly successful. I wanted to keep in the grid to be a bit reminiscent of 90s vector art posters and the contrast between the bare mdf background and the vibrant paint provides a digitally derelict aesthetic.

  • Landscape Studies

          One of the most important elements of my figure drawings is the landscape that encompasses the characters. My wish is for these landscapes to feel as expansive as those of surrealist origins, but not be directly surreal. Furthermore, Having encountered the work of Artist Gordon Cheung  I have really wanted to try and

  • Shirazeh Houshiary: Smell of First Snow at Lisson Gallery

    The arabic words adorning Shirazeh Houshiary’s work are something to be seen. Without a familiarity to the language system, the press release is the only way of discerning that the patterning is in fact made up of words. From far away, they form a field that sits in front of the viewers eye, slightly obscuring

  • Barbican, shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

    So I went to Barbican for the first time, and I can not get over how beautiful a place it is. With some of the photos I also played around with the editing a little, so they are not necessarily that great. But anyway, Barbican, who does not love Brutalism? I want to live in

  • Trip The Light Exhibition

    Many Photographs courtesy of Daniel Bandfield. The exhibition opening took place on the 14th May, and was a glaring success. Many people turned up and the atmosphere was overwhelmingly positive. The only snag was a late opening caused by a rather long crit led by Jonny Briggs which lasted for 3.5 hours! However, Jonny was

  • Cosmic Presents Broken Dream, 2015

    I made this poster for a competition to design a 90’s Rave poster for “This is England ’90”, so I am posting it here too because why not? All done in photoshop, was lots of fun, I’m really digging the whole cyberpunk feel atm.

  • To What Extent is the Monochrome the Logical Conclusion to Modernist Painting?

    The Monochrome in the tradition of modernist easel painting is defined as being a colour field painting consisting of a single colour or tone (Corris, 2009). Monochromes have had an influential effect on analytical and formalist paintings, with their appearance occurring mainly in the late 1910’s with suprematism, and the early 1950’s with formalism. It
