What is the difference between the average male and female? 

I believe that the obvious physical and stereotypical differences between these two genders are each irrelevant to a person’s internal capability. Are not males and females actually just human beings? People of both genders consist of a heart, a brain, organs and a body that holds it all together.

Gender equality is still a serious and controversial topic of discussion in the world today and this pressing issue deserves thought, and a fair resolution. Through my work I wish to examine the attitudes of those in our culture and respond to how we often segregate genders without even knowing it.

Within western society in the 1970s there was a huge movement that supported women’s rights and allowed women and men to be seen as equals. Sadly, in many other countries, they are still extremely conservative; many societies still segregate the male and female gender in many ways and this means that discrimination and ancient and unfair prejudices are still present.

However the concept of gender equality is not just targeted towards the female gender; it includes both males and females. Domestic violence is an issue where both males and females are victims. However how often do you hear about a male being physically abused by a female? When this occurs, society conjures the idea that the male is weak and insignificant.

Gender equality expands over more than just  domestic violence. The manor in which people are required to act and dress causes self harm across both genders; you find certain products which are only targeted for one gender, an example of this is make up and hair dye which is targeted for women when men too use these products and are then shunned by society for doing so.

I believe that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities throughout the entire world. The style of my piece was selected to catch the eye of my audience and this is achieved through my larger than life canvas, a tight composition and the use of a bright palette. The division of the face in my portrait reinforces the message that males, females are all the same; HUMAN.

FUCK - 2016

Acrylic on MDF

120×90cm

This bold piece contains many different meanings all based on the viewers interpretation of it.

It could mean fuck 2016, the year it all started to turn to shit; the year were we had some of the worst shootings across the world in different continents; the year where the rest of the world watched the USA elect for the worst presidential candidate; or even it just being the absolute shittist year for yourself.

However; it could well be the idea of anti-conformity and wanting to have your own voice and do what you believe is right and not doing what you are told is right. Could even be taken another step further to say fuck the government and banks which control us all through fear, the fear of money and how it is the deciding factor in our lives if we live or die, or even our daily choices.

By using bold colours it captures the attention of the audience from across the room pulling them in deeper into the piece and sparking their imagination to try and reinterprete it to "get them" on a more personal level.
