Fice Will Fice My practice places itself within a contemporary debate surrounding gender and class, depicting an aspect of young manhood obtained directly from photographs within my immediate circle of friends. Taken directly from Instagram, these primary and secondary materials are connected through an established criteria of painting and camera. The selection of images consisting of diverse compositions of young men. The figures in my work occupy a distant temporal space moulded by a sense of emptied time, where young men perform such behaviours found between a period of adolescence and adulthood. Through thin, washed out applications of paint, the construction of the painted image is questioned as I layer my paintings to reposition subject matter in an assembly of forms, where the work operates as a body as opposed to a single unified image.
Fice has exhibited in South London and Leeds during his three years of study and has recently been featured in the Guardian alongside 16 other graduate artists.
