| Brief Statement: |
My interest in art arose during my last year at college where I studied mathematics and economics.
I took a course in art history and was fascinated by various 20ieth century 'isms', particularly the ones that emphasized the conceptual aspects of art.
Eventually I gravitated toward the more "visual" movements, such as post-impressionist and expressionist art, which employed innovative pictorial devices
.
As source and inspiration for my work, I seek images that conjure up ambiguity and distortion.
This dissonance often provides the impetus for the work. I work primarily from sketches and photographs, often using a computer to mutate the image in order to test the various possibilities.
As the work progresses, I try to move away from the 'naturalistic' depiction to a pictorial idea that emphasizes expressiveness and innovative (hopefully!)
complex interaction of pictorial elements.
My working process is largely governed by trial and error until I arrive at a satisfactory result.
I hope that, in the words of Chaim Soutine, "my results are not entirely banal".
