2022



​The Messengers 
​A series of paintings (each 20 x 20 cm) based on news reporters broadcasting live from Ukraine. Each one painted in one go, alla prima. Painted directly on the canvas, with limited detail, just enough to get a feel of the expression in action. Surreal, floating heads, in the dark, overexposed by camera lighting, ghostly presences; how we see the news via a TV screen - removed from the reality of the horrors they are witnessing.
Familiar faces, familiar voices, war correspondents. (March 2022)
