This piece was inspired by utilizing the method of the 'OBEY' image, combined with the persona of the 'Minneapolis Umbrella Man'. I wanted to choose a word close to obey but within my own context pertaining to the event. Oblivion is defined as; 1. a state of being unaware of what is happening around you. 2. the state of being completely destroyed. Due to the medium I had to create a realistic representation of the figure but I opted not to go for a photo realistic stencil. This is due to the drawn nature of the obey image, however I wanted to keep the elements which describe him; his hammer, umbrella and the distinctive purple filters on his mask. The text overlaid says: Everyone who is base and separated from him falls into the claws of wild beasts. This is written in red oil pastel.

I use recurring themes based upon my own perceptions of the world we live in.Realism can feature in my work sometimes but i'm generally driven by abstraction. The process has to be enjoyable, quick and not labored. Creative play forms a large part of the artworks. I was influenced by Picasso's 'unlearning' process of imitating child like drawing. What are we trying to say as an artist is something crucial to the work. My theme is generally focused on 'trust' and 'deception'. I'm traditional in the sense that I like the 'format' of painting, print and sculpture. My style evolved from splicing contrasts together, Id make a stencil, push some acrylic through it instead of spray. Then Id paint over them so that they became partially lost in the painting. This was to recreate a visual way of showing how things are hidden. In the same way our body has an inward working of lungs and the intestines. Also how in the world there are things obscured within events. These events draw our attention but the surface of them hides something deeper. So the work in its composition conveys hidden things, sometimes I'll use childish imagery to obscure something sinister. I might do this to show how a simple way of thinking hides something more complicated. Its complexity could be intimidating. There are lots of allegorical meanings too, I might show a thorny rose for example. This would indicate good and evil. You might be intrigued as to why Id write ' life and death' on a lion's tongue? This would show the power of the tongue.
