All the King’s Ghosts

Provenance: From the Spooky Action series (2022–2024)
2022, Gouache and oil stick on archival paper, float framed, 70 × 89 cm

All the King’s Ghosts plays with the familiar tale of all the king’s men, recast as a surreal, shifting dreamscape. A bright bunk bed sits at the centre like a stage set, surrounded by figures that hover between character, spirit, and ornament.

The scene feels caught between whimsy and unease: ladders that lead to uncertain places, faces drifting through foliage, and colours that swirl as if the landscape itself is thinking out loud. The result is a world where narratives half-form and then slip away again, inviting the viewer to decide what—or who—they believe in.

A vibrant, uncanny work for anyone who enjoys stories that unfold the longer you look.
