I'm not really sure what these paintings are about. Here are a few references and clues that I picked up on though...
1. His cartoonish figures remind me of Kara Walker... something about the black cut-outs.
2. His patterns feel tribal.
3. Speaking with a "forked tongue" means to say one thing and mean another. It also reminds me of the serpent in the Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden story.
Hmmm... what do you make of this?
