"Next Stop" (listed separately) & “Rescue Earth” from the ongoing "Procession" series both combine a collage approach of combining imagery to depict other possible dimensions or worlds and alternative thought. We're hopefully observing ourselves emerging from dystopia, and events play out differently
Both pieces of this diptych are interconnecting and were produced between late 2020 and 2021, as an indirect response to the pandemic and parallel world events. Inspiration from changing weather systems is consistent in the artworks, as starting points for texture. The combination of oil paint and oil medium help create a mirage-like quality.
This is our everyday, our east London or downtown Brooklyn, but on Mars.

Notes
I’m a British, multidisciplinary artist based between London and Southwest France. A former club DJ and Slade School of Art graduate. Over the years, I’ve been heavily influenced by the natural world, graphic novels, noir films and street art. Over the years, I’ve collaborated broadly with theatre directors, gallerists, musicians, festival producers, club promoters, dancers, start-ups, and business leaders. I recently exhibited in the 2021 ING Discerning Eye at the Mall Galleries and The Other Art Fair 2022 Kings Cross edition.
