International Bad-Man - Acrylic on plywood, 25x20cm, 2025.

I really don't feel like eating and drinking stuff from an alternate reality, ok?, Carp Matthew

'I really don't feel like eating and drinking stuff from an alternate reality, ok?' forms part of an endless series of warped portrait and scenario paintings by the artist largely focusing on lone figures engaged in ambiguous or mundane tasks without any clear indication as to their ultimate purpose or meaning. Mutated by their longing for such and their failure to find any, the images try to deal with themes of mortality, faith and the nature of reality by prompting the observer to search for sense where there is none. This particular painting was completed in late February 2017 in the artists studio located in south east London using oil, and ink on a stretched canvas, size 60x50x1cm and is unframed.
