INCIDENTS

These paintings present a merger and struggle between two types of emblems found on South London walls. Advertising images of desirability, power and progressiveness and graffiti images of morbidity, obscenity and obscurantism. These are combined into semi-human figures which stride through an empty urban landscape.
