this duo with attitude painting is part of a series,
which explores the more aggressive and violent side to humanity. the work was
influenced by recent media reports on the rise of gang culture and crime in our
cities. the use of the bull dog head replacing the
human face is intended to give character to the figures, while refraining from
giving them their humanity.

This painting is part of my 'dog headed' series, exploring
the aggressive and violent side to man's nature.
this piece was inspired by stories of gang culture and youth crime,
which have been prominent in the media in recent years. with many gangs now
using aggressive dogs as a weapon to show street status i felt the combination
of man and dog was quite apt for this subject.

I studied art at Eastbourne
College of Arts and Technology in 1997 and in 1999 I went on to study a
BA Hons degree in Design. I have always been interested in painting
and since early 2007 she has been working as a professional artists
specialising in Oil painting.
My work is mainly figurative, often with an element of surrealism;
exploring the relationship between people and place in urban and
natural environments.
I
am interested in capturing emotions within my work; it is the human
figure that becomes the focal point in my paintings and it is the
connection that the viewer makes with this figure that brings the image
to life
In recent
work I have been looking into the aggressive and violent side of man's
nature; pictorially combining the male figure with animals that are
perceived – through their involvement with blood sports - to be
aggressive.
