‘His powerfully expressive works are drawn directly from his own life experience. As has been written, he…depicts the world as he finds it, without elevating authorial presence, enhancing or exaggerating the drama of his subject. The imagery is always raw and uncompromising. Often it is heavy with psychological affect…fear…joy…pain…Sometimes it is child-like, giddy, funny; sometimes angry. Always it is intensely human’
