Submission Painting

Cuckoo Len

My work explores masculinity, aggression, vulnerability, and the complex ways these qualities are learned, inherited, and expressed. Drawing on personal experiences, childhood memories, dreams, mythology, and religious imagery, I examine the tensions between violence and tenderness, control and instinct, fear and affection. I am interested in how familiar narratives and symbols can be reinterpreted through a personal lens, revealing connections between individual experience and broader ideas of male identity and inherited behaviour. These works typically take the form of larger-scale paintings, allowing me to explore these themes with greater physical and psychological intensity.
