The Lyricist

Contemporary figurative artist living in London, UK. I work in high key colours that can be converse, almost jarring; the use of colour is intrinsic to my work, I rarely use black in my painting and use the negative space of the canvas only to enhance a finished image.

My Figurative style is free flowing inspired by works by artists such as Gernot Kissel, Basquiat, Adam Neate and others. My works are drawn from a sense of the human condition and can take on a chaotic, erratic nature. The figures I paint are bold and provocative, arresting with sublime titles, exploring the allure of the form with vibrancy and stark lines.

Each work describes varying emotions; innocence, modesty, confidence or audacity through a process of neo-expressionism. The high key colours being crucial in achieving full expressive and communicative force. The works are often at odds with themselves, the beauty of the line juxtaposed to the chaos and decay of the background.
