Here, I playfully master the technique of catching the painting while it isn’t looking. ...

The lines of the composition are brought to the fore as bold lines criss-crossing the plane bouncing off the edges in defined trajectories. In the recent work masking tape is employed to create crisp graphic aesthetic. Representation is eschewed in favour of a...
