He won the Discerning Eye Modern Painters Prize in 1996, and first prize, Hunting Art Prize, Royal College of Art, 1997. He has been a guest on Michael Berkeley’s Private Passions on BBC Radio 3. His work focuses, as it always has, on opera, love, sex  and something of the nightclub.

Recently he has been using watercolour and gouache, rather than his usual oils.

"The drawings inform the paintings; watercolours are like having a box of fireworks; the primary colours, the immediacy. Everything seems more direct in watercolour. I take more risks on paper; I’m not beholden to it."
