Three Degrees of Separation

Paintings, 2015

The small scale drawings and paintings in "Three Degrees of Separation" are allegorical visual representations of the artist's examination and reflection of beauty, reality (or unreality) and human conflicts across the globe. The art works provide an intersection for questioning reality. There are three realms within the exhibition, "Dreams", "Collateral Damage" and "Targets".

The first grouping is "Dreams", which allows the artist to explore the sumptuous application of paint, and allow fantasy to permeate the visual language of the paintings.

In the second grouping "Collateral Damage", the reality of the human condition comes crashing into the storytelling, setting up an alarm - what's going on here? Images of Nagasaki, the war in Afghanistan and the Sudanese child armies change the tenor and mood of the installation.

The third group, "Targets", provides a bridge between the first two. The group of paintings are symbolic and give the viewer a way to connect the dots, to reach an understanding that the world is full of complex ideologies, with beauty, nature and human nature competing, yet finding levels of existing together.
