MY CV

Although I use a variety of materials and processes throughout my work, my methodology always stays the same. The nature of my art privaleges emotive action over thought. My works are expressionist in their driving force. My fans. Once they recognize a general pattern, they are able to break away and observe the work with newly objective eyes creating their own sensuous dynamics by reacting to what they see and feel. The work conveys: the 'edge' of existance and the struggle for life that occurs at such territorial boundaries. I like to explore where such boundaries of decay impact on the human psyche as it pushes the boundaries of sensuous libidinal economies and cartesean ratio decidendi . Below you can find examples of my style and artistic methods within my current and past collections.

2014 EXHIBITION BOURNVILLE FINE ART

June/ July 2014

I was foutunate to attend the last Art and Design  foundation Diploma at the  world famous Bournville Art college in 2014 and succesfully graduated with merit. It was  a great  privilege to attend such an iconic Art School and to be one  of its  last graduates. I find  this to be both a great honour and a  hefty  responsibility; since many world renown artists graduated from Bournville  over its  very long  history. I consider it  a challenge to walk in their footsteps and rise to that challenge everytime I create a work  of Art so that the legacy continues!
