visual art
I make art in a variety of mediums, including pencil, paint, ink, collage and graphic design. Most of what I make is an attempt to articulate a sense of the transcendental and mysticism. I blend various religious and philosophical ideas in my art, and draw on my love of medieval history wherever possible.
Recently my work has been focused on early medieval pattern, design and artforms, especially knotwork (or interlace) and blending these with modern ideas, concepts and styles to create unique patterns and ideas.
I've exhibited my work throughout London and the South East of England, and originals and prints have been sold in many countries, including America, Italy, and Australia. Visit my shop page to see more original work, prints and accessories.
RUNIC RAP
runic rap
This body of work depicts contemporary UK Hip Hop artists on Runestones in the Anglo-Scandinavian style found during the Viking Age. Runic Rap is my attempt to position these artists as the torch-holders of the poetic/bardic tradition that has existed in Britain and Ireland for millennia. Rappers are the social commentators, jesters, and poets of the modern age, speaking over drum beats as the bards and scops did in ancient times. They are presented alongside a small portion of their lyrics, written in Anglo-Saxon Runes, further solidifying their claims to Brtain's ancient heritage.
fibonacci celtica
Fibonacci Celtica takes Celtic Knotwork and gives it a mathematical twist; taking inspiration from the Golden Ratio or the Fibonacci sequence, I have created these single-band knotworks which bring together two forms of expression which are concerned with infinity into one.
knotwork collection
New works in the ancient style. Knotwork, or interlace, became the decorative artform par excellence during the Roman Empire, and reached its height of complexity and beauty in Britain during the Early Middle Ages, culminating with the carpet pages of the Linidsfarne Gospels, the Book of Kells and more. I am revivifying the artform and associated maze, spiral and key-patterns to create new works inspired by these forerunners of British art history.
pencil drawings
I use pencil to create lucid, psychedelic renderings of ideas which merge the visionary, material and subconscious into into landscapes and patterns.
collage
One of my favourite ways to work is collage, reforming old photos and found images into psychedelic landscapes
miscellaneous
Artworks made in a variety of mediums including pen, ink, paintings and more which don't fit in the above categories.
