About the Series

“One day I received an email from Dafen - a ‘copy village’ in Guangdong province, China. The email contained thumbnails of different paintings they could reproduce for me from every famous artist in history. There were three Andy Warhol pieces in the list – a Jackie, a Liz and an Electric Chair. His whole output had been distilled to three beautiful, dark and pixelated images. 

The starting point for my series of Nightmare paintings were these 3 Warhol images. I began with an image of Liz Taylor’s hair from a Warhol painting, and mixed it up with an image of a girl I found online who dressed as a ghoulish playboy bunny one halloween. Liz died a few months later and the series gained momentum and has grown from there.”
