Last Resort.
About:
In 2007 Neill graduated, with distinction to the degree, Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art (Honours), at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, majoring in new media. His production then, looked particularly at the social products of contemporary society from a global as well as South African perspective. This exploration was taken further and similar themes were covered as part of his overall body of work required for obtaining the degree, Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art, which he graduated with in 2009, majoring in printmaking.
Failed Connection.
Working in a number of different mediums such as, drawing, print, painting and sculpture, Neill continues to draw inspiration from the media, society and politics, attempting to create a panoramic view of all the issues, difficulties and paradoxes which are embedded in global and more specifically, South African society. His interpretations often have a somewhat comic/tragic twist to them which is the artists attempt to create an uncomfortable space in which we, as observers, are caught between being saddened and amused.
Hobby Horse.
His works are housed in private collections in Europe, the United States, Australia and South Africa.
