I make paintings; these have developed from an interest in secondary characters depicted within Old Master paintings. These figures are removed from their original setting and re-contextualized in a contemporary scene.
My recent work has seen a development of this premise; contemporary people are placed in an art historical context to become key players in a new, constructed narrative.
