About The Artwork
The works firstly have to be beautiful, but the beauty mearly masks an underlining contradiction which lies at the heart of the works, not only providing a space to escape to, but at the same time a space to escape from. The work is a visual representation of the duality of desire that exists in all of us. The works have a very textured surface created through a comprehensive process which too is at odds with the highly rendered and detailed surface painting.

United Kingdom
Thorpe’s work reveals a meticulous and intensely vivid exploration of the inner life as the only true retreat from the stultifying world of form and offers a window on to a highly personal but culturally situated struggle to reclaim a space in which to articulate the irrational and spontaneous dimensions of the human existence. Born in Margate, England (1981), Thorpe moved as a child to Scotland. Having traveled throughout his early twenties, Thorpe graduated in 2010 from Gray s School of Art in Aberdeen with a First Class Honours degree in Painting. Upon graduating, he has received the Alexandrina McKenzie Legacy and the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) New Contemporaries Award. At the New Contemporaries 2011 exhibition, Thorpe was awarded the (RSA) Sir William Gillies Bequest and the (RSA) The Skinny Award. His work has most recently featured in Saatchi Gallery Online's top ten weekly paintings and was represented at Art Verona, Italy, in October.
