The Party Animal

This artwork is the first in a little series im doing trying to capture the atmosphere and feeling of wild celebrations and festivals through depictions of some of the people you see at them. I think this one was heavily influenced by the summer season but also a longing for the atmosphere of gigs and festivals "like the old days" without social distancing. I love these characters, for me they encompass everything that is a gig or a festival, the sweatiness, the bright and weird colours and outfits, the happy, boisterous and cheerful people.

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.
