Primarily a painter, but also working in a variety of mixed mediums, my work stems from materials relating to the human condition such as newspaper clippings, archival reference books and propaganda, early film and television stills, and found materials.
Although I utilize traditional modes of portrait composition, stylistically my work is loose and painterly, thus contemporary in its form, in order to present obscure historical figures as commentary on current culture.
In my latest body of work, I investigate historical patrons of the arts and the irony and tensions that are created when the art and artist is utilized /used as a means to cultural and corporate “diplomacy”.
Hi Travis, I like these drawings a lot, reminding me of flash sheets/ an interesting way to present information. I would like to see if you are interested in trading a drawing of mine for the 4th one, "Thousand Year Agenda". I have lots of work, let me know!
