The paintings depict cartoon imagery and vanitas objects in a faux cubist language. Visually they reference two specific periods in time, the first: around the 1910’s and the second: 90’s to today. This is an acknowledgement that our world will inevitably be superseded and it raises notions of the antique. These are ancient concepts and formally they are traditional paintings. The vanitas objects reinforce these ideas but also add a comic slant to them placing the cartoon characters into a quasi-Shakespearian soliloquy contemplating their existence.

On a lighter side the paintings are a kind of 'fan art' and they are executed in a playful manner. The faux cubist language prompts a process that is like a game; pulling apart the image and playing with pictorial space and depth, creating subtle contrasts between media that sit in a delicate balance on the surface. Graphite ruled lines give a sense of exactitude that is contradicted by waves of colour; they are between logic and instinct.

Ingres, Picasso, Leger, Braque, Oscar Fischinger, Tomas Scheibitz and Armen Eloyan are a few artists who have been influential in the conception of this body of work.
