Oil on canvas, 2022
60 x 45 x 2cm
Unframed but canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher and can be hung immediately on either a nail or screw. My inspiration comes from various themes pertaining to childhood, be it from my own experience of childhood and parenthood or general observations of my own two children. I am interested in the evolving dynamics between them and me; their relationship with the environment, animals and the World in general (and all that it presents).Children can be strange but beautiful and also funny but melancholy. The presence of children in my work provides glimpses into imagination, fantasy; story telling and sometimes surrealism, Identity and gender definitions.
Although recognisable faces often crop up in my work, I do not consider them portraits with the ‘characters' representing a universal portrayal of children/childhood. I often find that the paintings I make are very relatable to other people - so they almost become like shared memories or a shared lexicon of childhood.
