This photo was only captured for the memory of the night... what happened that night after this shot is known by anyone but us!


Recently I have been thinking about focusing my paintings on underground city life in Sydney. As opposed to the focus on bourgeois society of the classical paintings, I am simply interested the ones that who grew up in the streets, the ones who gets drunk with a slice of bread, the ones who fight, the ones who piss the traffic off, the ones make love in the middle of the day, the ones who throw up on the street, the ones who wake up in middle of nowhere, the ones who scream, the ones who bite, the ones who fart, the ones who make peace and fuck, the ones who gets high, the ones who wont get scared when faced with a gun, the ones who use the gun, the ones who get the feeling of a cold steel bar...  
no more Madonna painting with the baby Christ, it is now the time to paint the outcast lovechild of a prostitute..

we will meet soon for our own sacrifice!!!


Real Refuses - The Democratic Archibald 2012
After long hours of work, sweat and tears, finally I finished my Archibald painting. I am truely satisfied with the end result; but apparently the judges of the Archibald are not thinking the same way.. as my painting did not made into the Archibald 2012 this year.
I was deeply disappointed with the result.. and shut myself down for a few days... I did not want to talk to people, I did not want to give my comments on the Archibald finalist, yet alone the winner..
then, people started to ask about Real Refuses.. when is it?, are you going to be in the show this year too? As I was the winner of the last year's show, I was a bit reluctant to put my painting into Refuses this year.. but people kept asking and said they want to see the painting exhibited.. So I deceided to put my painting into the show again.. that was the last of the submission period...When I arrived at the gallery, I have to admit I was shocked by the quality and the number of the works on the wall. What a great difference from last year to this year.  
Yet, I got the First Prize of the Real Refuses 2012.. Two years in a row.
