In Neon Jungle, Jamie explores contemporary issues of self-identity, focusing directly on individuals. The subjects within each painting are generically beautiful, mimicking the idols and pin-ups seen in magazines and on television. Through the familiar poses that the figures strike and the absence of any physical scene or environment in which they are placed, Jamie is stripping away any context or predefined meaning.

Society’s narcissistic self obsessions have become the inspiration behind the works created for this exhibition. According to Jamie, ‘’People are obsessed with themselves in the developed world today, our perception of ourselves or others perceptions of us are no longer dictated by where we are from or by our background, but more on what clothes we wear, how expensive they are, the music we listen to and where we socialise”.
