Panasomniac, 2022
I am a 25-year-old visual artist living and working out of East London while studying a BA in Fine Art at Camberwell College of Arts. Primarily as a painter, I have been showing and selling my work for the last three years. A little rough around the edges, coarse, crude, blunt and to the point, yet still I hope spirited, vivid, purposeful, I try to make work that reflects myself and my perspectives honestly. In that way, my work doesn’t attempt to make sense of anything or narrow in on any particular theme for creative dissection. In my approach I endeavour to stay open to influence from almost anything that I see as having an effect on my state of mind, whether it be a frustration or amusement, whether it be personal or political. However, I often find that what I want to express the most is a reflection on the ridiculousness of human behaviour, human interaction and emotion. I find that even the most horrifying or morose aspects of life contain in them a ridiculousness that propels them, an oddity of conduct that seems to make us unique. Art should, in my opinion, present an honest and authentic reflection of life, whether it be one’s personal life, life in a small community or life at large. Life, in my opinion, wherever you find it, is ultimately strange, unpredictable and chaotic. My art thus is an attempt, through a blending of influences and a coating of my aesthetical preferences, to reflect the strange chaos of life as I see it.
