“I have always been interested in figurative art that is grounded in realism yet isn’t confined by its rules, and takes great expressive liberties with the human form. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a comic book artist. I liked the over the top subjects and styles of the medium. The extreme simplification- things are reduced to their most essential elements. And then the essential elements are exaggerated.”
