DOCUMENTARY, ORCHESTRA ZERO & SYNCOPATION SERIES
THE SYNCOPATION SERIES
The Syncopation series began from learning about syncopation in musical composition (simply described as off beat/ irregular rhythm), so it is the unexpected and perhaps a jarring effect it may cause that was interesting to me, and this idea has been translated into two-dimensional paintings.

THE ORCHESTRA ZERO SERIES
The Orchestra Zero artworks are inspired by a powerful Matthew Good song: Zero Orchestra. It is an impressive and intense piece of music with lots of orchestration using horns, strings, piano, etc.
I wanted to put that same energy and power into some paintings.

THE DOCUMENTARY SERIES
The Documentary series was produced after seeing a fascinating television biopic of the artist, Francis Bacon. Bacon’s paintings are striking, raw and visceral, so these works developed with those elements in mind.
