Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
A painting moulded from a childish enthusiasm and a decrepit adult world view. The anthropomorphism of the lion is intended to prompt an empathy for the animal. The alterations are subtle and instead focus on the similarities the human anatomy bears with others in the animal kingdom. A feeble hope perhaps to instill a comradery between us and other ‘Earthers’. Although the painting references more contemporary styles of Art, notably Expressionism and Pop art, it finds itself at home further back in history. The piece references ancient depictions of lions, where a limited knowledge was beautifully intertwined with fantasies of the mind. These interpretations elevate the creature, empowering it with further personality and status. The waves and curls of the lion’s mane add an extravagance and vibrancy to the piece, offsetting the somewhat static pose of the animal. It also helps describe a bustling emotional state not necessarily found in the facial expression.

Norway
I am a Scottish artist now settled in Norway. Since my graduation from Edinburgh College of Art in 1999, I have exhibited far and wide. My work is rich in narratives, often satirical and even perhaps a wee bit bizarre. These elements are all rooted in a highly detailed and solid draughtmanship.
