Foetus : 2009 : Mixed media on panel : 110 x 214cm : £2,075

 

Primitive tribal paintings of anthropomorphic forms contrast with intricate Klimt like decorations of swirling patterns, laced with soft toys, buttons and familiar backgrounds of formica and floral wallpaper. His work is surreal yet figurative, containing strange sexual ambiguity with wombs and phallic forms inhabiting the same image.
