Split-Traction Figure (After Collapse)
This one started, as many do, with the intent to paint a figure—and immediately betrayed that intention. It tore itself open. It became movement instead. The figure split across a plane that refused to hold still.
Ghost Structure: Memory, Rewilding, and a Bat Den
Ghost Structure began as a painting, but like most of my work in The New, it sits between the real and the constructed. The site is real: an overgrown patch of land near tillington west sussex, where the remains of a scaffolded shelter were slowly being reclaimed by the land.
Thread Collapse: Guerrilla AI, Neo-Futurism, and the Algorithm Trap
Thread Collapse is a fake Instagram page. A trap. A glitch in the feed designed to catch minds—not followers. It’s an AI-driven visual experiment built on old-school guerrilla tactics: drop the idea into the world, let it circulate like static, and wait for the signal to hit the right people.
You don’t scroll past this.
You fall into it.
The Hidden Costs of Art Supplies: A Neo-Futurist’s Rebuttal
No studio. No ventilation. Head pounding. Tacky acrylics drying like melted plastic. This is the cost of “non-toxic.” This is the lie sold to the working artist.
They package it like progress.
They label it “safe,” “easy,” “modern.”
But all I see is filler, fumes, and failure.
This isn’t just about one bad batch. It’s about a system that doesn’t make for me anymore. Most of these internet art supply companies aren’t run by artists. They’re run by content managers. Spreadsheet people. They move stock. They write blurbs. They know what “sells,” not what works.
After Nash, Before Collapse: Why I Paint Landscapes Anyway by The New Futurist
Neo-Futurist art is an innovative movement that pushes boundaries and embraces experimental techniques. In my latest collection of gouache paintings, I explore the possibilities of this modern art form, combining traditional gouache with abstract art to create vibrant, thought-provoking pieces.
From Vorticism to New Futurism: A Trajectory of Abstract Energy
The relationship between Vorticism and New Futurism is one of evolution, redefinition, and radical energy. Vorticism emerged in early 20th-century Britain, propelled by the explosive momentum of modern life, while New Futurism carries the aesthetic and ideological torch into the 21st century. Both movements share an obsession with motion, industrial power, and the fractured dynamism of modernity, but they diverge in their approaches to abstraction and emotion

Echoes of the Future’s Wild Memory: From Gouache to Motion
Gouache has an immediacy to it—thick, opaque layers of color laid down in fast, gestural strokes. Each brushstroke holds tension, as if it’s just barely frozen in time. The challenge of animation isn’t just in making these strokes move, but in ensuring they move in a way that aligns with their original energy
BLAST 3 (2017): A Vorticist Revival for the Digital Age
BLAST 3 does not mourn the digital age—it embraces it. It transforms the mechanical intensity of early Vorticism into a contemporary force, where code replaces steel and algorithms dictate rhythm. The digital frontier is the new machine age, and this piece stands at its core, vibrating with raw, unapologetic momentum.
