'A Gathering in a temple, India', 2024, oil on canvas, 76 x 51.5cm
'I’ve been painting the figures of people caught in the periphery of big 360 or 180 photographs, in gas stations in China, temples and streets in India or beaches in The Gambia. Blurred, distorted, folding in on themselves the pictures are fragmented, with the figures being often prone to being duplicated. Whether aware or unaware they aren't performing for anyone in particular but end up on this big broad vibrating web of information we interface with everyday regardless. But like the periphery they find themselves in these aren’t scenes we, the western world are particularly familiar with. This world wide web can be very small sometimes, contained by whatever platform's interests and algorithms; the global divide of ´north and south´ is maintained by soft cultural power or blunt service restriction. Leaving us often no better informed, and myself with the continued impression that we don't like to think of a lot of this world as part of humanity.'
