The Castle in the Sky explores unexpected moments of beauty found through the lens of a restless creative mind bound to the routine of courier work.
Emerging from the artist’s daily routes, the project captures how golden-hour light transformed mundane street scenes into moments of inspiration. What began as a growing archive of reference photos taken on the job evolved into a reflection on the tension between creative ambition and the demands of part-time work.
This debut solo exhibition showcases a new series of oil paintings created from a curated selection of 350+ reference photographs, taken by the artist over five years on delivery routes. The work comprises a large series of painting ‘studies’ created under unique challenges, crescendoing into the Pièce de résistance - An epic surrealist mashup of all the artist’s dreams, inspirations and ideas that led to the exhibition’s creation.
