Happy/Angry/Worried Young Man (1984-1990)

WARNING! (This page is not for the delicate of sensibilities) I wouldn’t simply label this as my ‘Angry’ Young Man period, because there is also a lot of magic, joy, colour, light and humour in these paintings. Yes there is violence, anger and torment but there is the whole emotional gamut; paintings from a young mind racing and flooded with information, hitting overload. The images race with energy. Often brutally confronting, these paintings pull no punches in their observations of life. They’re strongly critical at times but also deeply infused with pure magic and joy, often at the same time. Mostly graphic in style, they also explore other genres and frequently include different styles within the one image as urgent ideas jostle for attention. They’re playful, fun, but simultaneously hard hitting and in your face, if you can take it. Enjoy the ride. :)
