Press Release

Fascinated by shamanism, Buddhism, and the constantly shifting planes of perception, the works of Residue represent the inward response to external pressures. His mixed-media works, completed using mostly grays, black and white are heavily layered and reworked, dreamlike in both presentation and content. Animals, symbols, patterns, and figures intertwine and overlap, aggressively scrawled into the image. Residue uses materials that range from oil paints and wax varnish to found objects and insects. The influence of ancient cultures in not hard to discern, being explicitly suggestive of petroglyphs and cave-paintings. “My work is often frantic and ritualized, always trying to match the specter of composition, narrative or sensation in a befuddled shamanic fashion.” Residue’s artwork is a psychological drama wrought of struggle and pain, embodying the persona of the tormented artist made famous by the notorious Vincent Van Gogh. After spending fifteen years pursuing and perfecting his artistic vision, Residue is gaining recognition outside of his native England.
