About the Art Work
Drawn freehand directly on a computer and printed on a high-end inkjet printer, my drawings do not contain photographs nor scanned material. His works subvert the apparent rationality of urban design, exposing the conflicts that lie beneath the surface. These digital drawings are a comment on the fears as well as the dreams expressed in suburban culture.
