Since the late 1980’s my work has involved the
creation of paintings and drawings pertaining to a kind of "Industrial
Surrealism" in which urban images, with and without figures, are
synthesized from a combination of imagination and reality, sometimes
directly drawn on location, derived from slides, prints and digital
pictures or a mix thereof. My art is technically well-crafted, using
traditional realist techniques that fuse into my own "Magic Realism"
when completed. Works in the same vein are also in development with
looser, more "expressionist" brush strokes, bolder color and
distortion. My intention is to create an atmosphere of ambiguity and
tension through the use of broken narrative, leaving the viewer with an
unresolved outcome, which mirrors our increasingly complicated and
surreal world.
