DO NOT POKE SERPENTS - 'ME MYSELF & I'

Painting from 'Me myself & I' series ‘Do not poke serpents’ Chalk board paint and golden acyclic on canvas - (80cm x 100cm) This latest series of paintings on canvas features my signature long-limbed bearded characters. This is the first time I’ve worked on canvas and at this scale it feels like a fresh chapter with quite literally more room to paint than ever before. I’ve limited the colour palette to gold, black and white playing with a 'Yin and Yang' balance where the gold, black and white creates a sharp contrast between the light and the dark. These scenes, are inspired by ancient hieroglyphic artworks and symbols. I have depicted my own versions of these ancient rituals, comprised of symmetrical coincidences and elongated angles.
