The darkly satirical pop-art portraits which make up the Masks of Fear This collection of pop-art portraits takes a darkly satirical look at a number of world leaders and, despite having been created up to a decade ago, remains startlingly timely. Consider Trump's Mexican, Kim Jung-un's Disney-esque and Putin's bright prink masks, striking a fine balance between poking fun and being terrifyingly apt. With more people politically-engaged than ever, Masks of Fear looks set to become an enduring collection amongst those with their voting fingers on the pulse.

‘In Brands we Trust looks to challenge society's spiral into avid consumerism. Take, for example, the 2016 story of two people who were shot over Nike's release of a new Air Jordan 2 shoe - questioning whether brands have become our new religion and the cause of division and extremism. In this vein, here you see Barbie's face transposed where the Virgin Mary's would be, turning pop art - which fetishised consumerism - into something more akin to take-a-pop-art.

Floral in nature but very different from the more recent Oblivious, Wallflowers is reminiscent of Portraits of Heroes in its refacing of one style of painting with a bigger, bolder, brasher one. Examining the inevitability of ageing and our refusal to accept it, where the manipulation of appearance is under the microscope.

Take our obsession with popularity and fame and add a fascination with media influence and propaganda and you'll find the ingredients for POV. The pull of the media, drawing us in with its falsely-intimate content on anyone and everyone, and particularly celebrities, forces us to lean in whether we like it or not. Bucking this trend, POV offers up a visual antithesis in a series which makes us step back, but in person, rendering the phone redundant and asking us to question the icons we thought we knew incredibly well.
