About this artwork
This painting was created for an Arts council funded exhibition called ALPHA male in 2019. The title ALPHA male is a purposeful one. A seemingly negative label, which conjures images of toxic masculinity, is used ironically to poke fun at those outdated ideas of what it means to be male and what roles men are expected to play. It intends to challenge people’s preconceptions of what an alpha male is and does. The work within the exhibition contrasts…
with those archaic prejudices and challenges attitudes, showing vulnerabilities; frankness and humour, taking a satirical look at manliness and fatherhood.
Since becoming a father my view of Modern masculinity has changed from being less focussed on myself and what others think of me to caring and supporting my family. I think a modern man should work hard and be respectful to those around him. In the UK Men are slowly learning to open up more and not bottling emotions in, which leads to violence and suicide.

« My main concern within the work is exploring the color field. Although vivid, my works are invariably balanced, using a signature color palette of extremely bright and intense hues. »
