Bad Painting is an ongoing series begun in 2013, based on real events. The paintings often combine image and language, using short, matter of fact descriptions drawn from news reports, official statements and personal accounts.
The work is driven by my response to the events I encounter: anger, sadness, disbelief. Painting is a way of processing these events rather than illustrating a political position. The paintings present fragments of the source material without resolving or explaining them for the viewer.
Earlier works were predominantly small acrylic paintings. Since 2024 I have worked mainly in oil. In 2026 the series expanded into larger formats, and from Bad Painting 462 text was reintroduced, often on the sides of the canvas.
