My work is led by a persistent critical examination of the art scene as well as an examination of the patterns of conduct and centers of power within the artistic community. I focus on the combination of painting, video, and instillation; which I create in my studio; a sort of research laboratory—a creative space for experimentation and error. My works deal with the tensions between the act of observing and the perception of reality in the world of painting: an archive of photographs collected from different sources, mostly from the internet, are used to created digital collages. I recreates the image on canvas, and then transforms his paintings into three-dimensional installations. The new images are then added to his photo archive and become raw materials for future paintings.
