Imbued with naïve pop art style, the ‘No Talent’ series is neo-dada interpretation of childhood icons.
Manipulation of layers, from the raw canvas to the vibrant foreground, provide a deceptively simplistic first gaze. The viewing experience unfolds as movement in perspective reveals the subtle gloss of the text.
The childish aesthetic is reinforced through the limitation of materials. The use of a single brush, tempera and a restricted colour palette echoes the authoritarian restrictions placed on children as they are moulded into responsible adults, devaluing their whimsy and creativity.
