Enter the field... 2012
Shutter board and emulsion

Private collection
This work provides a clear demonstration of the return of the real into art. It starkly illustrates the issues associated with the unknown in abstract and its performative undercurrent. This distorted vision at first seems familiar but then reveals itself to be oppressive and untruthful. With these nightmarish allegories the artist is activating contemporary associations and social references. The moment of beauty which we are then asked to re-evaluate becomes increasingly unresponsive.
