Selectors' Comments:
Sumptuous almost edible handling, a bit like Luc Tuymans interpreted by a cake maker. Virtuoso 'done in one go' stuff. The sorry little loudhailer man looks like he's run out of things to say, so the painting seems very quiet from a pictorial point of view. But the paint seems to take over the image, making it 'noisy' in a more physical, material way.

Artist's Statement:
My work is about blurring the line between the real and imagined. I source films and photographs, which are edited and translated into paint. Through my brushwork and use of colour, I aim to create a sense of suppressed tension in the paintings, describing scenes that are seductive and enigmatic, as well as strange or sinister.
