Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This painting titled 'Light a fire on hypermasculinity' was a Finalist in the 2020 Gosford Art Prize.

This painting is about warped monolithic hypermasculinity which is a deeply flawed archetype of what it means to be a 'real' man as it is centred around exagerrated muscular physique and promotes brute strength, aggression and violence as the ideal traits for problem solving and conflict resolution. The resulting stunted emotional growth and rigid gender expectations are detrimental to the goals of creating a truly equal society. Pop culture has been guilty of promoting this narrow gender binary view of toxic masculinity.
