Artwork Description

This is the nineteenth instalment in my "We the People" series, this work marks a change in medium as I have moved to paper as a surface and experimenting in creating portraits on a smaller scale using pens and finer drawing materials. This latest work again explores glimpses and distorted images of passers by that I have encountered in the city, perhaps the audience will find something of themselves in this work.

(NOTE: This work has a reduced price as a small tear approx 1cm long is present on the white border of the artwork as seen in the photographs, the drawing itself is still undamaged and in perfect condition.)

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.
