I am a painter based in the UK

I have completed a number of solo exhibitions in public galleries including the City Art Gallery, Manchester, the Atkinson Gallery, Southport and the Huddersfield Art Gallery. He has also exhibited in group exhibitions in Manchester, London, Dublin, Milan, Brussels and Utrecht.

My works have been used for television productions and a variety of publications worldwide. Paintings are collected

internationally and he has works in public collections after winning the prestigious Sefton Open art prize in 2006.

Working from photographs taken from magazines, life and film stills. Each image is dis-assembled and de-constructed from the original source and context then re-assembled. The images are re-edited to create new narratives, which exist only on the painted surface of his works. Characters are given the freedom to interact with themselves and/or different backdrops, manipulating the time and space that they originally inhabited.

The finished works are painted using acrylic paint onto various surfaces including canvas, wood panels and aluminum.
