The Misdemeanour series is a celebration of playful rebellion, an embrace of colour, movement, and the untamed spirit. These paintings dance between joy and mischief, balancing the innocence of instinct with the boldness of defiance. Each work is a moment of release: brushstrokes dart and collide, colour sings without restraint, and the canvas becomes a stage for energy to play out in its purest form. Beneath the lighthearted surface, there’s a deeper current, a reminder of the freedom we often forget to grant ourselves in life.
I approach the process without rigid plans, allowing each mark to respond to the last in an ongoing dialogue. It’s not chaos, but rather a kind of deliberate looseness, a trust in instinct over perfection. Through this, the paintings carry an honesty that is both youthful and timeless.
Misdemeanour is for those who see beauty in the unguarded moment, who understand that the most powerful expressions often come when the rules are gently or joyfully ignored.
