"I like to think of it as cave painting, after waking up for the Renaissance, and then being hit in the head by Modernity.
In general, I describe the work as traditional, figurative, allegorical painting.
More specifically, I would say it is Gothic piety and Sienese humanism in a Venetian light, only with more chaos.
The aesthetic of this show parallels the Kitsch school, as they are rooted in a love for classical antiquity and long dead friends" -Shaun Berke.
