RATTLEBAG X RE.MIX.ER -June 4th
Half Northern Irish and half English, and raised in Pakistan, I have been drawn to creative art since I first picked up pencils and crayons as a child. Ever since my first show at The John Hewitt here in Belfast many years ago, I have been travelling all over doing shows in Dublin, London, Amsterdam, Turin, and Melbourne to name a few.
Under the moniker NOTPOP I paint abstract, energetic work with a balance of disruptive rhythms and colours. My subjects stem from a simple shape, a doodle or inspiration from the world around. The work aims to capture a rhythm, a motion, a pattern, or an illusion of the chaos of how fast we all consume information today. I am in my mid-forties and have seen the pace of change speed up since the eighties and it is fascinating trying to keep up with the sheer volume of what is relevant and what no longer is.
