Studio Processes

Now that the exhibition is up and running here are some shots of the studio processes that culminate into a show. As an artist most of what the public gets to see is the finished product and never the process that leads to it. The sketching, the studies which I have posted before. Some of the works on paper have been exhibited as studies and complete works which I then develop further onto works on canvas.

New Works

Res Ipsa Loquitur(The Strait Jacket Series)

Divine Discontent (A Strait Jacket Series)

People believe in certain ways, predetermined manners often according to pre-described norms of society. Anything counter to this is normally punished whereas “normalcy” is encouraged and rewarded.

In this series the strait jacket is a metaphor that explores boundaries, the idea of boundaries (social and self) and imposed system of thought. The works delve into how we are anchored by social conditioning and expectation, always bound at the expense of what we desire. In this series the paintings are a reflection of the outward expression of our inner and intimate existence. The figures in these works explore the duality of the state of being and the natural intrinsic state of fulfilment and happiness.

Save The Date

30th April I will be having my Solo Exhibition "Divine Discontent" at the Oneoff Gallery. The works in the exhibition are part of the Strait Jacket series which is an ongoing series. 

In this series the paintings are a reflection of the outward expression of our inner and intimate existence. The figures in these works explore the duality of the state of being and the natural intrinsic state of fulfilment and happiness.
