In his first print edition, Clayton Schiff’s Visitor looks out from the shadows of a toilet paper shelter.

Set in a domestic space loosely resembling his parent’s bathroom, Visitor stems from Schiff’s childhood paranoia of lurking figures behind opaque objects. The half-obscured gaze of the lonely creature reaches out of the picture plane, as Schiff foregrounds the dynamic between observer and observed. The situation echoes a surprise encounter with a household rodent or pest.

“The character doesn’t exactly belong in this setting, but presumes that the viewer regards them more with bemusement than hostility.”

Behind the scenes

Clayton Schiff1 collaborationClayton Schiff paints endearing, hybrid human-animals. Depicted in oppressive empty rooms, sparse parks, or in front of city tower blocks, they convey alienation with humour. A doodler since he was a child, Schiff's ideas come from daily walks and mundane occurrences. These are catalogued as sketches, and then rehashed later on canvas. He paints using soft, imprecise brushwork in muted, subtle colours. Often in green, ochre, apricot and delicate pink. Further inspiration comes from comics, dioramas and the fantastical illustrations of Maurice Sendak.
