Using a figurative language that floats between the grotesque and comical, my paintings examine the spectacle of violent acts, both coordinated and circumstantial. Casting a colored light on human folly, they allude to a culture’s growing obsession with its own demise: erasing the shades of grey between anarchy and totalitarian societies.
Figures, only partially depicted, reflect what we observe daily though the screen: a pulse of narrative in bits and pieces. At times, hyper-masculine relics litter the stage, acting as totems from a lost tribe.
With an eye on our current economic and political environment, this new series is about our collective fear and attraction to the authority of influence, the euphoria of revolution, as well as revolts media amplification.
