Artwork Description

As the third part in the Conformity series, Conformity Reconsidered, has taken on a different spin, and is relevant, very much, to the present day.
The Previous pieces were all about straight lines breaking out of the box- this piece however, asks a question, is conformity a necessary part of life in the present?
In these trying times, we as a population, need to abide by the rules, adhere to the health advice, and do what we’re told! This seems to be the way to get through these tough times. However, should we just sit down, and do what we are told? Do we trust that this will be the best thing to do?

The Conformity series has always been about challenging the norm, living your own rules, and breaking down barriers. Reconsidered, however, is a lot more consistent, both inside, and outside the box, suggesting that the “breaking out of the box’ has been subdued- even though the box is still broken- and although outside this box is more blurred, I feel this is more of a question rather than a statement of anti-authority !

However, it’s also a nice pretty pink picture that would look amazing on your wall, (and become a talking point with your guests)
Hope you like it!

* this artwork comes unframed- some of the in situ images show the piece in a frame, this is a suggestion only, and to show how it would look on your wall.

Artist Bio

I am an artist who works, mostly in abstract art, with a touch of surrealism and a little of the impressionist, and who loves to experiment with media- mostly acrylics at the moment.
I currently reside in Sydney’s Inner West, and love soaking up the culture and expressions of this artistic mecca.

I have been making art, and creative projects from a young age, with some of my very early works (while studying), becoming quite political in either their origins or their outcomes. Growing up in Northern Ireland (UK), provided a lot of inspiration, and opportunity, for political statements, and I can recall my tutors often asking me to hold back a bit, and when I explained my process, was told to really go for it. Sometimes though, I did have to be sensitive to the political situation.

I made the move to Australia a few years ago, and it inspires me every day to be creative. I try to include this, along with my world travels, and experiences from my home, into my abstract work. This could be a colour palette, a sound, a smell, a memory, even a dream, and I try to incorporate this into the creative process. This process can often take me on a journey, of which, I do not always know where it will end! This can be frustrating at times, but mostly, I love the outcome, and this is a huge part of abstract art, (for me anyway).
I hope you enjoy what I create.

Although each of my pieces is completely original and not easy to replicate, I am more than happy to find out your needs, and come up with something in a similar style, that is unique and individual to you.
