  • Glitch 4 or “That moment when you realise you forgot to upload your work for 2 months”

    So the story is that I used Asendorf’s code a bit more and messed around with this image, one I took of Kilimanjaro, which already has a bit of graining in the top left because the camera got damaged by the cold I think. I put these images through the process multiple times and at

  • Ian Francis: The Chosen Form of Your Destroyer at Lazarides

    Walking into Lazarides gallery in Soho, I was immediately overawed at the artwork on display to me. Ian Francis’s works carry the depth and sense of sublime taken from works by John Martin and the intimacy of the works of Joseph Wright of Derby and pairs that with an aesthetic that is immediate and ethereal and

  • Some More Exhibitions: Barbara Hepworth & Sonia Delaunay

    Barbara Hepworth at Tate Britain The Hepworth exhibition at Tate Britain was eye opening in a way for me as it began by contextualising Hepworth’s work with that of other artists from the period in the early 1900s. Displayed alongside contemporaries such as Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Henry Moore and John Skeaping a small snapshot of the

    My interest in Glitch art came about whilst watching the film ‘Koyaanisqatsi’ by Director Godfrey Reggio featuring a superb soundtrack composed by Philip Glass. The file I was watching had been corrupted in some places causing the distortions seen below. I felt that this style of distortion would be advantageous to my studies of landscapes. I came upon

  • 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
