BIO



 

(b.1988 Brisbane, QLD)

 

"... is quickly becoming known for his fresh vector art, that seem to be a throwback to the psychadelic 60's with explosions of color, but the artist is far from unaware in his maneouvres with sharp exestenstialist wit in his titles that ground the viewer before the work." - visual-graphix.net


"To counter the digital dogma, my work is instantly rarified in that once they are printed - the files are destroyed. The work will then only be seen in peripheral media (photograph, website, magazine) in support of the piece.
This "one off" policy allows others to collect very particular and important mental real estate. The tools given to man are useless without the mind behind them, which is found with the flood of hyper-realist painters who have succeeded with physical skill, but forgotten the impossible; the alien; the psychedelic; realms of imagination.

This cementation of these mental bridges to "other worlds" have been our histories ultimate, long lost secret - the methodologies of turning 'inwards' . The Buddhist Tibetans, Hindus and Daoists, Sufis and American Indians, Non-Dualists, the Amazonian Shamans, Australian Aboriginals - so called "primitive" cultures who used specific techniques in peircing the ordinary visual veil of reality.
These archetypal, inward psychonaut travelers are our best chance at revolutionizing our own minds potential. I use techniques from these cultures to access an un-englishable realm - no words can describe it, and I have tried unsuccessfully for many years to bring back something, anything from these places that are so alien. These are mental gifts, not colour on canvas - I went and reached a place very far out, and you can go there too if you are open enough to it. These are not concoctions, but authentic attempts at bringing new visual possibilities to the rest of humanity.

 

These works are my continuing attempt at understanding this visionary world.
