Another Rubbish Painting , 2021
1000 GBP
Oil on Canvas

Actual size:70 x 50 cm

A painting that displays the aesthetic beauty used to captivate people through bright colours etc. to consume and hence create more waste. We live under a system that has to create waste in order to perpetuate itself which is alternatively leading to its own destruction.

My favourite genre is still life and I am very much influenced by the early Vanitas paintings as I like to create a narrative with material objects. I aim to incorporate 3 major aspects in my paintings: a degree of technical ability, a thought-provoking concept or underlying theme and finally aesthetic value. A lot of my work is also autobiographical which also coincides with many of the underlying themes as my life experience often offers an alternative standpoint/perspective (I learnt to paint as a prisoner, being formerly involved in the drug trade).
