25 May to 18 July 2021 — ON DISPLAY IN OUR BOARDROOM.
Opening: Sunday 13 June 2021 from 2 – 4 pm. All welcome.
To generate images for this series of paintings, I collected reference materials from vintage magazines, found photographs and old studio portraits of strangers, then manually collaged them, digitally manipulated them, or both, finally settling on satisfying images to turn into paintings.
By using surrealist techniques and limited, fairly arbitrary subject matter I try to let my unconscious instincts guide my aesthetic decisions, figure out what’s going on conceptually once I’ve already begun, then extrapolate on those themes, stretching them out until they feel resolved. I try to keep things strange and ambiguous.
