"I love the male form and I love conveying a quiet vulnerability and masculinity. The paintings are usually a compilation of photographs that I shoot and then put together using this hand with that arm or that head. They are figurative paintings but I try to transfer an emotion or a stage of my spiritual growth onto the canvas. Layer by layer, I apply acrylic house paint and glaze, building references to the emotion I am trying to express. In spite of its personal nature, my work relays a struggle with life's trials and burdens that is universally felt and understood."
A delightful and sometimes tragic epic romp through the course of a man’s life. It's main character, Cyril Avery, takes you on a literal journey of a lifetime, as his story unfolds in seven year increments, throughout eleven phases of his life. A sort of coming of age, after realizing he is different, and the often painful repercussions of coming to terms with his sexual attraction to men. [read review]
Rating: ★★★★★
Nothing really new here, but has a great soul with great performances by the actors, a good script and beautifully directed. Feels naturally filmed, about a thirtyish police officer who falls in love with a male co-officer and the repercussion of his indecision. [read review]
