THE PAINT SPLATTERER (THING-IT PAINTER AND MANNEQUIN MANIPULATOR) A painter. The paintings always have objects or mannequins attached as an extension of the canvas, an ongoing theme of this artist. They consider it all 'paintings'. The large paintings naturally become installations in this way of working often joined together with rubberized ropes. A multimedia artist constantly moving and changing and never stagnant into one discipline. Splatterer's new body of work includes approximately two years of medication that the artist has ingested. Then incorporated into the canvases and provocative sexualized mannequins and then rubberized in a flesh-like substance. Psychological dependence on medications is always artistically explored through metaphors and symbolic imagery of the work and the medical reliance and self-control and the struggle for autonomy over one’s body. Reoccuring themes of being human in mental and physical sickness, fear, addiction, anxiety and trauma taking all this and transforming them to beautiful paintings in what they call dolly displays. The surreal paintings show dreamlike landscapes and transport viewers to places where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, offering a mental escape from the constraints of the real world.
