Artwork Description

The background prison scene is taken from a Nordic noir crime series; the foreground figure is taken from Thomas Gainsborough’s Blue Boy painting. So there are two takes, or a double take.
This painting is on stretched canvas and polymer varnished to aid in protection against light and physical damage. It is ready to hang, with plastic coated wire on D-ring hangers.

This art explores colour, form, pattern and figuration and recompose the shapes and shadows of nature and the built environment. It is based on realism with a distortion factor, canvassing aspects of the ordinary and the extraordinary and evoking a sense of the social dynamics and psychological layers of identity and place.
