Both cathartic and confronting, self-portraiture with a satirical bent has always been my favourite instrument. These new works continue to explore my foibles as contextual reflections of our restive epoch. Our species holds more power, privilege and control than ever before. Yet, like short-sited demigods intoxicated with entitlement, we flounder and obfuscate, railing against ownership or mitigation of the havoc wreaked on our singular habitat and precious cohabitors. When our hearts bleed we seek distraction within myriad trivialities. When our bodies malfunction in this increasingly toxic world, we seek a quick fix, belying the iceberg of which our personal suffering is merely the tip. Compassion fatigued and loyalties torn, we clutch at short-term self-preservation to the unseen detriment of others and often, ultimately, ourselves. We bleed, then patch the hole. We, privileged, vindicate our fall. And fool ourselves amidst the toll. #art #painter #realism #hyperrealism #surrealism #superrealism #photorealism #oilpaint #artstudio #steampunktendencies #beautifulbizarre #portraitartist #femaleartist #oilonaluminium #steampunk #melbourneart #instaart #postapocalyptic #australianartist #newzealandart #scottishartist #instaartist #instaartoftheday #newartwork #artistlife #artnews #todaysartreport #dailycollector #grimdark #contemporaryart」10月13日 12時09分
