Howling Forever



Howling Forever      2007

Howling Forever was produced with the aesthetic of paper back novel cover art in mind.
I was exploring the notion of producing paintings that are accessible to the wider populace,
not just the usual art viewer. I had in mind the memory of images I wanted on my walls as I was growing up in a housing commission flat.
This was a series of allegorical paintings centring around a warning of natures soon to arrive 'revenge' for actions that have brought on environmental destruction.

'A long time ago we used to be friends'


'Howling forever'


'Well it looks like we made it, yes we've made it to the end

'
'(Wake up fuckers) we've come for what's ours'


'Pappa was a rolling stone'
