MY LIFE AS A STATISTIC
difficultdemographic.jpg
acrylic on plywood, 92 x 122cm.

The ongoing "My Life as a Statistic" series is a commentary on the sometimes dubious ways that politicians, bureaucrats, corporations, and the media tend to categorize society into faceless groups and demographics, the better to manage the individual citizen.

FUNNY HOW POTENT CHEAP MUSIC CAN BE

The paintings on this page are different conceptually as well as stylistically to the rest of my work as I am sure you will notice. For a contemporary artist, not to stay within a single style is considered bad for business, but for me that is not the all important consideration. These paintings are about what I think. The other work is about how I feel in front of a subject. Neither style is about how things actually look. Clear as mud, eh? ha ha.
