Elevated Emotions

From 14/04/2021 To 07/05/2021

I work on unplanned subjects, elements, emotions, life experiences, which belong to my subconscious. These subjects relate to or have related to my personal or explored life, encompassing our notion of past, present and future life. My focus evolves around the exploration of human emotions; hence the journey starts from a place of unknown.
I usually start with a thought in my head, which instinctively grows from my differing emotions that I am feeling at that time in my life. I can walk around for hours, venturing out at night and walking the streets, slowly but surely sensing that the idea is germinating as I take in the scene around me. The sense of a work (or project) eventually crystallises, and I can then commence the process of putting the concepts inside my head onto the canvas.
My work demands us to discover for ourselves what we perceive we are seeing. My current projects are essentially hiding the obvious within the artwork itself, deliberately diminishing the clarity and then the final step within the artwork is creating a linear view of the world, providing the definition that we are searching for in each piece.
In this way I am drawing the viewer into a state of heightened reflection, hence the title of this Exhibition: ‘Elevated Emotions’. I hope that you as the viewer can readily identify with each artwork, each one reflecting a different emotional element of the human state.
With each piece I start my own journey of self-discovery, ultimately providing the platform for my subconscious to become conscious and the artwork can then stand on its own, bringing the unplanned subject that I started with, to life.
