Urban Synthesis

"I consider myself a ‘Land Walker’—a contemporary urban artist working onsite decoding the hidden languages of the urban landscape. My practice is rooted in the dérive; I navigate London’s ‘urban jungle’ to uncover a vernacular of marks, shadows, and graffiti that I view as a modern compulsion to leave a trace,these territorial marks not always popular by authorities.

I work alone find a place that artists often visit and set up a space to make art sometimes upon the land or on a wall.

Having been awarded a UAL grant to research tribal symbols in South America, and at Andalucia Spain my current work explores the synthesis between ancient Huichol petroglyphs and contemporary urban mark-making. I treat the city as a palimpsest where layers of decay and construction form a spiritual ‘Art as Language.’ Through onsite painting on primed linen paper, photography, and digital drawing, I document these ‘hidden Londons,’ transforming mundane transit routes into poetic sites of shamanic connection. My work seeks to balance the primitive with the contemporary, revealing the sacred within the concrete."

 

artists I reference are,Christopher Wool,A R Penck Haring and Cy Twombly

 

"If I could give London a song it would be a silent mix of vintage classical jazz". 

 

"My thesis  "Can Art and Spirituality Merge"? which is an ongoing series Art as Language a set of personal projects connected to a body of ecological,experimental and historical  image research that is the applied methodology of "contemporary tribal symbols" (from South America) to decode or map the "hidden symbols" of London’s urban landscape".
