The Frustrative is an artist and poet who previously spent 13 long years in London's creative advertising industry at some of the top agencies, working as an art director come copywriter. Having had enough of the barrage of rejection that goes with the job, he began to create art from his rejected campaign ideas. Initially collaging, then applying abstraction and words to create choas expressionism.

 

This process evolved into a kind of therapy for the artist, helping to reignite a sense of self worth and fulfilment.

 

He now regularly exhibits in London and writes about his past experiences through short stories and poetry.

 

Soon to be opening a studio in Rye, East Sussex.
