Nevermore established Artwork - Limited Edition of 50

These three images that depict Paul Gauguin in the last 12 years of his life in French Polynesia in his own style. These images are a challenging study of the Post-Impressionist's genius, which is tainted by his abusive behaviour toward the young Polynesian girls who surrounded him. The titles of these images are particularly striking, as they reference Gauguin's most famous painting from this period, "Nevermore," which depicts a Tahitian woman mourning the loss of her lover. However, in this context, the title takes on a darker meaning, as it serves as a warning to future generations to never allow such abuse to take place again. The three images portray Gauguin in a vivid and colourful style that is reminiscent of his signature post-impressionist aesthetic. However, the scenes that are depicted are fraught with tension and unease. The second image ‘Nevermore - established’ depicts Gauguin, with the sea behind him surrounded some young girls and boys. He has a grey skin colour which reflects the fact that Gauguin infected a string of adolescent lovers with syphilis during his time in Polynesia as well as having three child brides. The images are powerful, as they capture the complexity of Gauguin's legacy. While his artistic genius cannot be denied, the images force viewers to confront his abusive behaviour and the exploitation of the young Polynesian girls who were so central to his work. The images are a testament to the power of art to inspire, challenge and provoke, and they encourage viewers to think critically about the legacy of artists and their actions.
