About the artwork:
Super Natural (acrylic on board) 2022
The title is deliberately using two words and is a play on the Superman logo but in this instance incorporating two organic forms linked inside the reversed letter S . The two organic forms can be read as pods about to open themselves out into a new Green world. The overall shape is an abstracted leaf suggesting a slightly human figure. Perhaps in the process of reaching out or the greyish tones alluding to Phoenix rising up from the ashes. It is a super natural movement.
