Outside the Box- Into the Night

A side step from my Conformity series. This painting is about escaping “the box”, but the question is, escaping to where? Where would you escape to if you could break free from the expectations of society, and could you actually do it?
I think the last year or so, has shown us all that life does not need to go back to what it always was, and that there are different ways of doing things, and there are a different set of priorities for each of us, (no matter what they may be), and the “new normal’ really should be different from what we always deemed as normal. What do you think??
Its like the old saying, “we can’t keep on doing the same thing, and expect different results!”
(It’s also quite a striking piece with its vibrant colours against the darker backdrop, and would look great as part of a gallery wall.)

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.
