Death By Audio
The latest suite of paintings deals with rituals — rituals in the religious and philosophical contexts as well as the rituals of daily life. Pagan rituals, occult imagery and heavy metal iconography appear in the “Death by Audio” artworks, with nods to Goya, Chagall, Lovecraft, T.S. Eliot as well as the Maxell “Blown Away” ad from the ’80s. It touches peripherally on the plight of refugees and migrants, who are shunned as outsiders or The Other in the contemporary society which is fixated with entertainment whether in analog or digital form. Some images can be considered a diatribe against the modern-day Narcissuses encouraged in social media.
The “Station” paintings are deconstructive takes on travelling from one station to another — as done by figures from Christ to David Bowie to people fleeing away from war-torn countries, braving the high seas, carrying with them (unconsciously) the myths and monsters of their people.
