His work is an idyllic sanctuary for those who wish to see beyond the physical, who wish to peer into the tropics of a parallel universe, a colour-soaked haven as delicious as sugar.

Naughten’s work has been widely featured in exhibitions across Europe and the US and includes solo a show at the Imperial War Museum and group shows at the Royal Academy of Art and National Portrait Galleries in London
