Hello and welcome to my Gallery. I am a digital artist living in Brighton, UK.
I look back and wonder if my degree in Geography gave me any preparation for my current artistic career? I once had a tutorial entitled, 'The Spatial Geography of Animals.' At the time I found this appropriation-of-anything-and-call-it-Geography spurious and lacking in focus. Contemporaneously however, the merits of that free-enterprise, laissez-faire approach is what underpins my art. There are no boundaries in subject matter.
So what will you find on the Gallery Tour? To start we have hand-juggled, imported Modern cutlets, phone-voted in cave-matured Contemporary custard; chaperoned in seasonally-harvested Pixelated Reduction.
And if that wasn't enough to dilate those pupils, to follow we have cavity infused Abstract Ravioli see-sawing on Rule Britannia Urban Peppercorn, sleeping late on breast-fed Humanist gravy.
To finish we have hobo-tramped Allegory lost in a wild wood of Mythical truffles, relocated to an Aesthetically pleasing mousseline imprisoned in a pastry cage, as worn by Kevin Costner in ‘Dances With Wolves.’
Hey, read the small print: sense is what you make of it. But get your pencils and paper, there is a quote to guide us through this molasses: ‘How can I tell what I think until I see what I say?’ Keep this in mind as you stroll around the Gallery. A few well-timed ‘Mmms’ alternated with a hose-pipe ban-lifted sprinkling of ‘Ah, I see what he’s trying to do,’ should help you along. If you hear someone declaring, ‘This Boberto Slazenger is visually inarticulate,’ ignore that fellow.
And as you move from picture to picture, perhaps listening to the audio guide through your headphones (yes, that voice is movie-voice-over-man: his fees are surprisingly cheap), let your thoughts flow and lift like a cow caught in the swirl of a hurricane, and where they fall, draw a line around the think.
Please, no eating inside the gallery and no photography. We welcome first date couples but don’t take kindly to people merely sheltering from the rain. The public conveniences are located towards the entrance; if you find they are not to your satisfaction, please inform a member of staff.
What of me and my art? My work is exclusively digital. My tools are a PC, graphics tablet, digital SLR camera and a scanner. I am entirely self-taught although I would have doubtless benefited from a mentor in the mould of Baloo the Bear or Gandalf.
I hope you enjoy my work.
