Awake Painting

A besuited man faces the viewer in a deadpan pose against an eerie greenish background. Facial features have been repositioned in an amoeba-like head. A cartoonish eye contrasts with more representational depiction of teeth, gnashing in angst and offering the viewer an uneasy contrast between a comic and a horrific view of the human condition. Above the figure hover two moth-like creatures and a smaller insect in front of a circle of pale light. However, their over-sized eyes are fixated on the viewer rather than the figure below. Bacon and Picasso and maybe Condo's disassembled portraiture interested me, but treated by the Symbolists. "You can’t help but smile when you look at Rene Margritte’s ‘The Art of living’, 1967, where the usual male figure of a man in a suit is depicted, but here there is a giant orange ball hovering above the collar. Painted on the ball are tiny facial features. Completely ridiculous but a great picture. ...Have a look for example at Keith Pointing’s oil paintings. Some of his paintings are so imaginative that you sometimes feel that you are flicking through a Dr Seuss book, but Pointing’s pieces are not aimed at young viewers." Art Critic : Tammy Woodrow
