Contemporary satire.
Painter. Academic. Lecturer


Contemporary satire is a powerful and influential genre that continues to captivate audiences and inspire critical thinking. Its relevance in today's world cannot be overstated.  I use my infinite imagination to describe the failings of humankind. The subject matter is drawn from my own auto ethnographic life experiences, and, the absurd dysfunctional episodes within both multinational, multicultural histories, and contemporary colonial west sociocultural absurdities. 


The work on this website  represents a  progressive view of the way satire may be interpreted within a wide range of painting styles. The work demonstrates my long term investigation of satire as painting. My current  work is a recontextualisation of my previous style exhibited at the beginning of  my past paintings tab.  I have produced a short blog post to explain my transition here:

My work can be found in national, international, private and corporate collections.
