Male Painting
This work has been more than six years in development. As yet untitled, I am attempting to re-evaluate the male
within contemporary painting.

Drawing on aspects of pressure and stresses of modern living and work I am exploring the tension and conflict that exists, but not necessarily seen, between the body/self and external forces and stimuli. It is the physical and psychological interaction and the sensation and feeling that interests me.

The work is still in its early days as each piece of work strengthens and develops the theory and inspiration behind the concept.
