Flimflammery is a wonderful word for deceptive nonsense, something I think the art world is often guilty of, bamboozling people with over intellectualised descriptions of works of art or an artist’s practice.

In this painting my aim is simply to create something that brings visual joy through my use of colour, shape and texture so please enjoy, and allow your imagination to run free. Over screen printed shapes I have used paint and collage to reveal and conceal elements, resulting in this happy commingling of sumptuous colour.

Flimflammery is often used in the sense of swindling someone out of money – however, if you like this painting and buy it I hope you don’t feel as though you have been swindled!
