Nothing is as it seems in Torchlight Confessions, an original Australian pop art painting by PEZ Artist. This moody, high-contrast canvas shatters the polished veneer of 1950s marketing tropes, freezing a mid-century housewife in a moment of pure ambiguity. Peeling back the sanitised, cheerful marketing imagery of the 1950s homemaker to expose a hidden, dark narrative.

--

I’m about the narrative. I want my images to unfold… invite you to explore.

With 10 years in the UK, working in the television industry as a camera operator and editor I turned my hand to graphic design after returning to Australia. These backgrounds have informed both my narrative and technical approach. I use ink, markers, conventional and airbrush techniques, I strive to engage with a restricted palette, simplified imagery and a playful approach to common tropes and perceptions.
