Title: ‘M3’
Medium: Oil on Canvas: 120cm x 100cm
Year: 2005


My work attempts to deal with the human predicament, its consciousness, on to a static, two dimensional surface.
Stripping away superfluous illustration, leaving an image in which finally the unique abstract qualities of oil paint on canvas deposits itself on the root emotional level of the viewer.
