New Work Friday #111

“My recent work can be likened to a painter’s patchwork. Within my paintings I bring together cultural elements of assorted trash and treasure, to create moments of hilarity, fantasy and pure (and impure) decorative distraction. Quoting liberally from a rich history of pattern-work, films, personal photographs, airport novellas, life in the suburbs and a bottomless supply of weird and wonderful web imagery my intention is to create art which is upbeat, happy, kitsch and colourful. I make no attempt to discuss politics and avoid altogether the dull, doom and gloom of the nightly news. The focus is on the beauty and joy of the composition, the impulsive use of colour and the indulgent lashings of bright, luscious impasto.This work will be on show at the Edwina Corlette Gallery, Brisbane from the 19th of June till the 7th of July.” Jessica Geron.
