Boxed In Painting

One strand of my work aims to process life experiences and find ways to represent them pictorially, often resulting in a images which are simultaeneously both serious and comical in tone (I tend to see life as a divine comedy). The character in this painting was initially a small component of an older drawing, which I liked enough to work up on a larger scale. The impressionist effects of the light in the image suggest transience and passage, resulting in a gravitas, a moodiness. The character himself is rather ridiculous... for me he's a symbol of the numerous aspects of life over which we have no control, which are defined by external factors. Perhaps sometimes it's best to see the comedy in life.
