Bus trauma ( two ) Painting

This piece deals with the gaping hole between real inner self and the external social self, the bus on the right is a symbol of society, while the trainers(runners) symbolize the self, like personal and public transport, walk or bus it? The Elvis figure is in the foreground is based on a plastic figure (public persona), on the far right of the canvas a jeering figure, is an image sampled from the commune one protests in Germany in the 60's, where the protesters wore paper bags with the face of a politician printed on them, at the front of the crowd behind the Elvis is the Prime minister of Ireland from just before the banking crisis, being blindly followed by the crowd. Over all this painting is a comment on the performance and acting involved in politics and the very massive gap between what is good for those in power and what is really good for a country. There are more layers of meaning within this work and at some point in the not too distant future I may write a blog regarding this piece, a link to which I shall add here (5,6,7,8 o'clock, rock,, were gonna .......Get off my blue suede shoes)
