Paradise

In this exhibition, a group of gold abstract paintings is presented alongside several larger, dark works in black and purple, and a series of smaller, brightly colored pieces. All are executed on aluminum Dibond.

In making the work, the aim was to capture and map an abstract psychological landscape shaped by an emotional confrontation with the banal hostility of contemporary life. The work is not interested in representing anything literal; it operates as an abstract working-through, an exercise in gesture and composition that reflects a way of seeing the world. The titles draw from a mix of arrogant platitudes, misappropriated descriptors, ancient Greek myths, vacation destinations, yoga poses, and competition slang.
