Recently chatted to @graffitistreet about my new abstract series of paintings ahead of the grand opening of their gallery space where this piece will be on show. “Moving into pure abstraction has felt like a natural step for me. I’ve always aimed to evoke a feeling in my work, which is why I’ve blended abstract elements into my realistic wildlife paintings. It lets me create a dreamlike world that goes beyond a traditional animal portrait. By focusing on textures, colours, and forms, I can tap into that primal connection to nature and to ourselves—something detail alone can’t always capture. I’ll keep including animals within abstract settings, but this focus on pure abstraction has been an exciting new direction that I’m eager to keep exploring.” Check out the full interview at the link in my bio ✌🏼 #abstracted #urbancontemporaryart #abstractart #sonnysundancer #graffitistreet #abstractpainting
