practise

Mainly influenced by Surrealist photographers and Abstract Expressionist painters, taking inspiration from Post-Conceptual theory. Whilst employing traditional art techniques (paint, sculpture), he creates installations that manifest specific ideas via contemporary media (digital video, computer graphics, 3d animation). Often emphasises a methodical research-based procedure that guides production, and demonstrates his outcome through execution of the final art object.
