I want my work to visually and mentally barrage the viewer. I want the viewer to be affected, regardless if it's a positive or negative reaction. I wish to keep the consumer in front of my work for more than the gallery average of three and a half seconds. I want the viewer to walk away and think.
The evoked emotion is sometimes more important than the work itself.
STATEMENT
I consider myself a multi media artist. I love exploring all creative outlets. I mainly work with acrylics, airbrush, photography, marker, computers, watercolours, silkscreen, pencil and installation. My style incorporates many of the above media into a final work of art. My work deals with contemporary issues. I seldom let my own emotion and opinion factor into the final result. In most cases, I present a strong opposition to my own beliefs. Some issues that reoccur in my work are; concerns with pop culture, the notion of art, censorship, voyeurism and consumerism. Underlying (in an almost subliminal manner) in most of my work is the concept of 'religion'. Some of my ideas come to me in my dreams. I have an obsessive personal interest with the subconscious mind. In a world that is supposed to be so advanced, so little is known about closing your eyes and surrendering to your other inner being.
My influences are; Andrew Warhola, Charles Bukowski, Larry Rivers, Robert Raushenberg, Leonardo Da Vinci and advertising companies all over the world.
