“My practice is centred on class, youth culture, and the condition of being human. I create large-scale paintings on canvas, drawing upon my own social and cultural surroundings for inspiration.
I grew up in Aldershot, so my lived experiences, thoughts, and imaginations are heavily influenced by my working-class upbringing.
My work attempts to critique the issue of stereotyping that often occurs in the representation of working-class people. By amplifying such stereotypes, I also illustrate my dark sense of humour, mocking the idea that every working-class/ young person can be categorized this way.
Additionally, my paintings aim to eulogize a modern-day, working-class society with the purpose of glorifying its citizens yet highlighting their struggles.”
