BANG – Blackstone Art Next Generation

I like to investigate paint’s abilities for change. Of its physical error, smear, wipe and scrape. Of how successive
layers of hue might change nothing into something.

The ghostly canvases have become the visible monuments of an internal unseen state. I believe the works are timely in respect of my generation’s contemporary anxieties, but yet are connecting beautifully to painting’s story of the
scraping out of its own object. I like to work with method. Not with explosive mood but through structured pace, equilibrium, and intention.

It is therefore the repeated actions of making these
constructs, that creates the painting’s surfaces and tonalities. The paintings are concerned with the
transfer of the interiority of the artist into the layered phenomena of voids, absences, uncertainties,
and emptiness.
