ARTIST NOTES: Mixed Media on paper

Signed on the front.

Have lately been focusing all works on primates, mainly Chimpanzees.
Posing them in important human stances and/or titles .
This idea came about when I was viewing Chimpanzee funny photos online (Ie dressed up as cowboys, popes , sailors etc).
Seemed to be something people did for a laugh back in the 70's but I think we all grew out of it and saw past the comedic element, and noticed the cruelty instead.

ARTIST BIO

Practising art from a young age and have generally pursued a focus in drawing and painting throughout Schooling, University and maturity.
My style is abstract expressionism. Mentors and Influences range from some Post WW1 movements like CoBrA, Melbourne Expressionists, German Expressionists and the Masters like Francis Bacon, Antoni Tapies, and Van Gogh.
Have gallery exhibit experience in both groups and solo shows.

My style and approach to my artwork is commonly a depiction of a memory/thought from my subconscious state. I then transfer it to the studio setting and consciously push and develop.
I love to embrace the role of Chance in my art, and work with spontaneity. 

My purpose as the artist is to deliver to the viewer a strong and confronting composition: Through the moods of my palette, bold and defining lines, stacked and mixed mediums. Leaving a suggestion of story line/theme/meaning.
