My main aim as an artist is to create artwork that the genenal public can find accessible, though I appreciate the conceptual art movement that has been dominant in the last fifteen years I can see that for many people some of the concepts would be a little hard to grasp and possibly elitist. art students throughout my degree I had the opportunity see how the fine art world works, visiting exhibitions and seeing my fellow students handling the ever changing art scene. I wanted to find a common ground between the conceptual artworld and the everyday life. I have a great love of music and find pop culture to be fascinating so it seemed a natural progression to combine the two within my artwork, creating bright, stylized portaits of musicians for mass consumption, easily recognised and accessible. first exhibition ‘Demons’ 2004 focused on musicians that had used their inner torment to create and was greatly received within the local art community and after that the commissions came flooding in. Seven years on, and after several successful exhibitions, I have developed a respectable client base and feel confident working alongside fine artists, though I think due to the highly stylized nature of my work I will always consider myself to be an illustrator . |
