Burger 4

This year I’m making a dedicated effort to paint all of the things I want to paint (after 6 or 7 solid years of mainly painting commissions). Hamburgers have been on the list for a while, and I discovered that there’s a great takeaway shop 50m from my studio in Wentworth Falls. The hamburgers are great and also good models.

These artworks are positive and joyful, speak of good times and guilty pleasures. Dripping with beautiful combinations of colours - the over saturated magenta of the beetroot staining the toasted ochres of the buns and the surprisingly complex greens and yellows of the lettuce. I can’t lie, they’re a joy to paint.

The canvas has painted sides, and is ready to hang without needing to be framed. The surface is protected by a satin varnish.

Bon appetit!

Painter from the Blue Mountains. I've had paintings in the Sulman Prize 2012‚ Mosman Prize 2012‚ Calleen Art Prize 2013‚ Gallipoli Art Prize 2014 & 2016, Gosford Art Prize 2018 & 2018, the ANL Maritime Art Prize 2018 and the 2019 Hawkesbury Art Prize (winner). In the last nine years I've had a lot of success with abstract paintings, drawing inspiration from the covers of 'Popular Penguin' paperback books, from the classic Monopoly board, Uno cards, and other pop culture icons. The paintings are distorted representations of the subject matter, transformed with thick brushstrokes and often random lettering, retaining the essence of the original but also becoming something new. I have had sell out shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore. My art has been featured in Art Edit magazine, The Grand Designs Australia Sourcebook and the Financial Review. PLEASE NOTE - commissions now closed for 2024. Thank you!
