Duncan McAfee

Though chaotic compositions with little negative space, encapsulating the essence of luxury and modernity McAfee depicts the trye anxiety of modern life, delving into themes of isolation and the fragility of existence.

Developed during the pandemic, the Exploding Heads collection merges deep themes of the human condition and humanistic anguish with light heartedness and comedic value. Through bold brushwork, dramatic colour contrast and an affinity for abstraction, the British painter often manipulated form to create a sense of distortion and disorientation, inviting viewers and collectors to confront the complexities of human experience.

McAfee’s experimental approach pushes the boundaries of both figuration and abstraction, making a resounding statement in the realm of high-end artistic expression.
