'No Body Beats These Odds' is the second of two still lifes, painted in the tradition of Philippe De Champaigne. A child's dummy (pacifier) is seen at the base of the now vertically inverted monolith with the skull balanced at it's peak. The monolith's height can not be traversed without meeting death; the skull blocks the way. A powerful spot light illuminates the configuration almost like an investigator's torch at a crime scene - an unsettling truth found. 'No Body Beats These Odds' is a quote from the late Christopher Hitchens who said about death; "Nobody beats these odds". I chose to change the first word 'Nobody' to 'No Body'; leaving the possibility of a surviving soul though the body returns to dust. 'No Body Beats These Odds is painted in oils with attention to detail.

Born 27.07.77 My paintings are character driven spaces, drawing on popular culture. They address such universal themes as; mortality, religion, mythology and philosophy. In addition, I am interested in portraiture. The paintings showcase combined techniques, from the figurative and detailed to loose and impressionistic.
