Realitopia. These are contemporary visions of paradise lost. Yesterday’s utopias viewed through the prism of the twentieth century’s alternative cultures. It’s what became of the great modernist project or a big hippie trip gone wierd.
These otherworldly landscapes and settings have a magical atmosphere and are populated by characters that lounge, flop, idle, dance and bathe against a psychedelic backdrop. Spectral hues infuse the paintings and the balance between light and dark is carefully poised. There is both a sense of hope and of melancholy – all is not lost but things didn’t quite work out as they were meant to.
