Opening on Thursday August 14 at 18-20
Clear is a selection of my recent paintings. I thought it would be a funny title, considering how my artistic practice so far has always been set against a backdrop of confusion and the absence of clarity.
I flood myself with digital images, which blend into something amorphous in my head and emerge again as figures, spaces or symbols inside my paintings. They go through my emotional filters and usually come out embodying a kind of nostalgia and escapism that I can't seem to shake off.
