Animus Possession is taken from Jung's theory on the archetypes.     Animus is the male aspect of a woman and this piece meditates upon the deepest archetypal emblems of feminine beauty, danger and eroticism in painting.

Animus Possession 

Durer's Melencholia shows the character with a shadow cast across her face to connote the Humor of Melancholy. The character in this piece is homage to Durer and an attempt to play with light sources to evoke drama.

Melancholia: after Durer 

the Book of Enoch relates the story of Samyaza and his band of angels who corrupted humans with all manner of mischief.     An attempt to interpret and convey aspects of various creation myths has been a preoccupation of my painting practice for some time

Samyaza the Fallen. 

here a biblical narrative is skewed and recoded with a psychedelic, new gothic slant.

Cain and his Son Enoch

the blade offers protection from fallen angels who corrupted earth women in the Book of Enoch. Moreover, Jung's theory of Animus & Anima feature strongly across this body of canvases. Animus is the male aspect in every woman. 

Animus: from The Daughters of Men series

from the Fallen series.   Samyaza was the leader of a band of fallen angels in the book of Enoch.  This body of new paintings considers a tantalising creation myth in paint, by meditating upon archetypal emblems.

Samyaza with Skull rings & Chain

From the Fallen series,  adapted from the Book of Enoch where a band of fallen angels corrupt humanity.
