INSECT VECTORS

This series of works are derived from insects that carry disease. The warming of the climate will provide ideal conditions for these insects to increase their habitat and spread disease.

I have not been successful in securing a venue to exhibit my climate change art, and can’t really afford to now that the cost of living is squeezing me dry! So I am going to finish up this phase after completing the remaining key larger paintings, and then move on to other projects.

PORTRAITS

Over the years I have painted a variety of portraits. They are not my main focus but I enjoy the challenge of capturing more than just a likeness, but something of the character within.

COMING OF THE LOCUSTS

“Coming of the Locusts” 2022 Gouache on Paper 60 x 66cm

I am working on a group of pictures relating to insects and creatures that pose an increasing risk to health and food security. As the impact of climate change worsens and the Human race’s systematic destruction of echo systems, inexorably continues, viruses and insects will thrive at our expense.

New Winter aftermath

“New Winter Aftermath” 2022 Acrylic on Canvas 122 x 182 cm

The painting took me a year to complete contemplating the notion of perhaps a winter bush fire. The two elements seem so converse as to represent the complete comedy of life. And we can take them further again, as representations of the struggles that entangle us all.

Commissioned painting. Humans may not survive the ravages of climate change, but the planet will reinvent itself in new and fantastic ways, I hope.
