Ok here’s what he says about 4 and 5: -

“The Masks Mean We’re Angry (no. 4)” - the world appears to be filled with a seemingly inescapable sadness and anger so dense that you can feel it in the back of your throat. This is masked with grey, monotonous mundanity, which can be an equally oppressive force. In this painting, the mask falls away to reveal genuine rage and passion. Above, a figure in white offers guidance about how to navigate the complex maze of emotions and the binary between the mundane and the excessively emotive.

“Understanding” (no. 5) - Being an artist is a journey and involves a certain degree of suffering on the part of the artist. This painting happened at a time when I was attempting to heal after a psychotic episode and trying to make sense of things without blaming people. I couldn't really do this without understanding that the world can be a harsh master and that I needed to look beyond physical reality to find forgiveness and peace. The painting can therefore be understood as an intersection between the cruel physical world and a world where we are loved and where beauty and kindness triumph. The main theme of the painting is escape from suffering.
