And Now I am of Value (A love hate relationship)

This artwork is the 1st in a series called The Brand New Worthless, it is an exploration into consumer culture and branding. Im fascinated and frustrated by Supreme, they have become a pop culture giant and are a huge part of the contemporary fashion world. It puzzles me that a red logo with white Futura Bold Italic font could suddenly become such an icon....its literally a font on microsoft word....and somehow adding it to things makes the prices ten times its original value. Take this op shop painting, bought for 3 dollars, i wonder how much i can sell it for? lets find out.

I find that my art enables me to express elements of my world that can't necessarily be seen by the naked eye, its an attempt at conveying something a bit intangible. Abstraction is the primary way I communicate my ideas and experiences in art.
The naive and somewhat primitive lines, shapes, colours and textures I use are my attempt at capturing the atmosphere, personality or feeling of a place or person I have encountered in my life, realism or a photograph in my opinion doesn't always capture these elements of the world.
I feel that my art brings these to the surface...it shows the soul of something, somewhere, or someone. Perhaps you will see someone you know within my strange works, maybe even yourself.
