Real World Intrusions

Painting

Oil on canvas

My body of work delves into how games enable individuals to use their imagination to escape their real world. Because gaming and technology are now so integrated in our everyday lives, I have designed a fantasy character that has my friend’s features and personality. This work stems from my personal passion and belief in how constructive, critical and beautiful the art of this digital world is. It represents how a form of escape might be able to be used to face the real world.

The orange brush strokes appear dynamic and free-flowing, with splatters and tapered ends.Simplified waratah flower in deep red colour with the words NSW Government in dark blue stacked underneath.
