Near Hoxton overground.

Here's some info about what my work is about.


The idea of destroying something to create something new is such a beautiful thing to me. Destruction goes hand in hand with the lack of control I witness when pursuing new works and ideas. The squash paintings are made based on chance, items are destroyed to potentially become works of art and inspired by Yves Klein’s Anthropometry paintings and traditional Japanese printing method “Gyotaku”.





Nearly everyone on this earth has something sentimental to them from when they were a child especially in the western world and most of the time it’s in the form of a plush toy. There comes a time when a lot of these people will decide it’s time to let go and move on with there life by getting rid of the plush. Capturing that feeling of childhood within my work feels so important to me from which I have noticed people wanting to name the painting after that special plush toy they had growing up. That inner child is still in all of us even if we like it or not. Nostalgia is what we need in our modern lives to keep going and holding onto the warmth and love of our past.

Congratulations on the forthcoming show. London is no doubt a welcome change from Melbourne at the moment.

As previously referred to*, I'm fond of your earlier monochromatic pieces created with plush toys. There's an x-ray quality to the black and white which is very appealing.

Below are three of your works still available on The Art Vault website*. At AUD 250 each (approx. GBP 130 or EUR 150), they're great value — especially given their medium (relief print), dimensions, and small edition sizes of 6 or 8:


Medium Ghost Teddy



Medium Teddy on White Paper



Medium Snowflake Teddy

Are you implying met that these are 2 different artists mining the same vein?

One perhaps some years earlier....

Hey, I actually done my first one back in 2012/2013 back in uni. I actually originally posted it on a Facebook page about contemporary art but it didn’t get much attention however this guy came along and recreated what I done and got a lot more attention. I’m not saying he copied me as 2 people can have the same idea but, I did produce them before this chap. His other work is not connected to this style of work so I feel like this could be influenced by my work. Personally I feel I’ve achieved a greater level than this and quality.

Many Thanks,

Rhys
