Artwork Description

Barely still life is my contemporary take on the 'Still life' genre in a very pop surreal style. The 'still' part is contradicted by the stacked cookie display barely still, and the 'life' part is represented by a clinical background with a robot cookie jar. I wanted the painting to be a contradiction of itself and playful at the same time.

Artist Bio

Attained Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Art from Griffith University, Queensland College of Art in 2003.

The Psyche, The Dreamscape, and The Australian Soul.

My practice is an ongoing visual reflection on the human psyche, focusing on emotion, identity, and the individual's place in the world. I explore these themes through surreal figurative works, where subjects bridge the gap between reality and fantasy.

Recently, this lens has expanded to incorporate Australiana themes, exploring the unique spirit of the Australian landscape and culture within my dreamscapes. Through this work, I aim to delve into the relationship between mortality and spirituality, creating beauty in the dialogue between the seen and unseen.
