Artifact, Collage and Sculpture Paintings,  2019 - 2025
 

The artist creates hyper-realistic airbrushed paintings based on photographs taken in museums, coining the term “photocentric” to describe this hand-crafted, mimetic approach. Although the works often resemble digital prints, they are entirely painted by hand, aiming to provoke a shift in viewer perception upon closer inspection. For nearly 50 years, the artist has focused on reinterpreting artworks and sculptural artifacts, focusing on their display within institutions as  in his series titled Museum Studies. The paintings explore how we perceive and value art through mediated systems of seeing. The process involves a transformation—from photographic capture to painted image that questions ideas of craft, illusion, originality, and cultural meaning.

In the latest group of paintings, the artist again explores various displayed cultural artifacts  in addition to collages, where images of archived visual material is readdressed creating new images for paintings created from digitally composed collages as well as assemblage scans.
