Soul ID 1-2-3

This series follows on from Soul identified as Flesh. The three paintings abstract the original format and explores the shifting nature of LGBTQ+ identities through the playful use of painterly language.
Our digital identities are now 24/7 on social media as opposed to the 15 minutes of Warhol fame, resulting in a constant fluidity of representation. 'Portraits' and 'icons' are mutated and dissolved within a digital maelstrom. Soul ID 1-2-3 seeks to 'frieze' that process and reflect on what it means to occupy the concept of 'identity' within a cyber culture?
