I’ve been working on studies of a rose bush, which I found dumped outside a neighbour’s house. Perhaps it would be expected that only the part of a rose bush that protrudes above the ground would be drawn; instead I chose to draw the rose bush as an object, roots and all. Perhaps I’ll colour the drawings in an effort to develop them further. |
Drawings
I use drawing as a very accessible, flexible and direct way of making artwork. In theory you can use a burnt stick or other basic item to create marks; I tend to use black oil pastels of various colours and sizes as they give me an immediate strong line, which is almost impossible to rub-out. So once I make a mark I’m committed to it. My work has often been described as urban and visually strong. I’ve been influenced by comic books, pop art, Van Gogh and urban signage. |

Lapieza. Junk art: Real Madrid football drawings.
Here’s another video made by the people at Lapieza in Madrid. I’m shown drawing a small souvenir Real Madrid football, dismantling it as I draw, cutting the drawings from cardboard and then glueing them to the gallery wall.
