My painting offers a brutalist perspective of the male body in heightened, melodramatic states. I am interested in depicting banal or bloodied subjects as elevated and allegorical, in which representations that often refer to their own physicality as well as the nature of painting. My work generally depicts a central figure in which paint has been treated with a gestural viscerality and painterly fleshiness akin to the nature of the subject itself. Through my treatment of form and content, I ask the viewer to consider the technical aspects of my paintings (colour, shape, substance, and light), as well as their relationship to a greater narrative and mythology, in which each painted subject is entwined in a politics that engages ideas of sexuality, identity formation, and individual psychology.
