"Return to the Planet
Gong", 2007, 160 x 190 cm, Acrylic on canvas
Daevid Allen, the genius,
musician and poet. Creator of the Planet Gong. From Soft Machine
to Acid Mothers Gong, over 40 years of artistic creation, beauty,
humour and philosophy. This painting is my homage to the psychedelic
music legend.
Amazingly, although he
has a dedicated base of fans that have followed his journey through
the decades, he has never received the acclaim from the masses that
he so rightly deserves.

"Vighnakartá
- Vignahartá", 2007, 220 x 161cm, Acrylic on canvas
Ganesh is one
of the most popular Hindu Divinities. He is usually the first icon
to be placed in a home or workplace. Devotees believe that by praying
to him, Ganesh will come to their aid and grant them success.
He is the Lord
of obstacles (Vighnesha) being both Vighnakartá (obstacle
creator) and Vighnahartá (obstacle remover). Son of Shiva
and Parvati, Ganesh has associations with consorts, Sarasvati (Godess
of Culture and Arts) and Lakshmi (Godess of Luck and Prosperity).
