Alfred Worrall
Statement
Online re-sale of low value objects is where Alfie’s recent paintings begin. The quality of how these secondhand commodities are staged, photographed and described, often, perhaps due to their low cost, seems unconsidered. Seeing a precarious and surreal beauty in this, Alfie paints with a style that has one foot in the amateur and one foot in the skilled tradition of painting.
