About the artist

Sqwumpy specialises in decollage, building layers using recycled materials and deconstructing back to pull through the story from the layers. The base of his work was an abstract oil painting by With Hue, who uses oil paints to show the motion and energy of the natural world.

About the art

An oil painting by With Hue deconstructed and built on by Sqwumpy through decollage. To start, we had an abstract oil painting of fire and ice clashing across the canvas. Sqwumpy took that energy and layered story using recycled newspaper and magazines to create a complete work, built up, deconstructed and built up again into something more beautiful.
