My paintings represent a snapshot of the real world, as it is and unchanged. My goal in my work is to represent a photographic projection of the banal and mundane of the everyday world.

I paint in high detail, taking the chosen photo I grid the image and paint section by section in high definition to complete the hyper real painting.
I dedicate myself towards the photo as much as I paint the subtleties and imperfections which photography create, i.e. blur, focal depth and insignificant information. As well as intensify the photographic information throughout the canvas.
I enhance these camera illusions from the original source to create something which can’t be seen with the naked eye, but only through photography I get to capture and produce this super realism imagery.

My subjects are based around the human form, and the everyday of what people ‘us’ do in the natural world. This could be while eating, washing, travelling, talking or even sleeping. Literally anything which can be seen as repetitive in our lives and relatable, I find appropriate to paint.

The idea comes from the modern world’s fascination with glamour and the media. I see photography as an important subject matter for my banal snapshot paintings because it’s repelling away from our normal viewing of the magazine, advertisement and the air brushed celebrity look.
My relation to most imagery and famous people in the world is through photography. Have most people ever seen ‘Angelina Jolie’ in real life for example? Or only ever seen her through television and photos?

It’s that reason why I pose my ultra banal subject matters to the viewer, not to question them, but for them to scan the work as if it was a photo or some kind of advertisement for our own morality.
