| the artist I was born along the Great Salt lake. I was raised in Seattle. I was educated along the Green River. I have written a novel in Paris. I have slept in a cemetary in Berlin. I got married to a Danish girl in Las Vegas. I have lived in Dublin. I now live in Copenhagen. I like to read good science fiction. I like to write bad poetry. I like to paint messy pictures. I really don't like Mayonnaise. the work Inspired by the sometimes-strange environment of the personal mind and the landscapes built by the illusive understanding of life itself, my paintings explore the relationship between the subconscious and the conscious mind. Rather than documenting an idea or opinion, they appeal to the viewer to make their own assumptions. Each painting has an intention, but is also begging the viewer to invent and define it. Stylistically, I find myself largely drawn to the works of the Neo Expressionist artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georg Baselitz, where there was a symbiosis between social commentary and vivid emotional expression, characterized by bright and banal colours overlaid with bold line work. In my work, I paint subconscious emotion in dramatic rolled on colours, and then trap it behind a single line of continuous conscious thought, resulting in an idea in which the underlines levels are defined, but do not always conform, with the surface. |
