Palmer’s work can be described as “grunge realism”, blending lone misfit animals with lyrical, graffitistyle text. The result is an alluring, idiosyncratic take on the human condition. “I like to choose animals that have an edge about them, animals that are representative of an outsider. From this perspective, I make sense of my own internal dialogue and the irony of the human condition,” Palmer explained to gallerist Lily Agius, who has represented the artist in Malta over a decade.
