ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work is the centre piece of a Triptych, inspired by work on a documentary film exploring the lives of women and girl survivors of sexual violence in Congo DRC, their journey toward understanding, sanity, healing and atonement. Composition of abstract-expressionistic driven, vividly, action painted, suggest the burden of violence, a search toward balance in the strain of paint on untreated canvas, in bright pallet of sometimes runny, distorted forms and colours layered, thickened with chalk, scraped and cut resembling the weight of patriarchy & machismo carried by damaged female bodies, contrasted with sometimes straight, juxtaposing more harmonious forms and colours, reinforced by strong image-message and misplace energy.
