Song Of The Deep Painting

A man can recede into himself - frightened by the world outside and too frightened by the world inside himself to know who he is - to himself, he is an unknown country. This man appears to be a `Man of God` - a priest or vicar. The open mouth and widened eyes in this image depict a sense of surprise or being startled, moulded almost into a mask (I can`t help thinking that the face of this character is not unlike the face of an inflatable sex doll!). The eyes are embedded in black holes in the face, the tell-tale sign of depression, but I think of this image as both profound and humorous - in contact with something deep inside himself, but appearing vaguely comical - tragi-comical. We tend to think of depression as being a black emptiness, but it is also a chance to be in contact with something deep inside oneself. The figure is open-mouthed, singing from the depths of his soul, and maybe startled at what he finds there....
