My recent work constitutes an ongoing enquiry into the political and spiritual implications of my own art practice. Through the considered painting of appropriated renaissance artwork, I critique the ways in which the omnipresent consumer-capitalist model has forced its way into the art world. My work resides firmly in the tradition of painting, so acknowledges and refers back to that heritage.
