Trxtr (1954, Newcastle/UK) have for a long time been preoccupied by war, fashion, sexuality, religion and our constantly evolving notions of feminine beauty. His images are a personal response to and contemplation of the impossible paradoxes and primitive insanity of the twenty first century. He compulsively collects culturally ‘loaded’ images from the both the digital and analogue world transforming and fusing them with his own photographs and paintings. These are then used to create complex and chaotic multi-layered digital photo montage which are reconstructed then applied to canvas or wood and are again worked into using chalk, charcoal, watercolour, acrylic and ink. Often these mutated images are scanned at high resolution, reapplied to canvas and then further enhanced and developed with the use of traditional materials and controlled accidents.
