About The Artwork
Dan Bright: Death Row Louisiana; conviction 1996, charges dismissed 2004. Kathleen Hawk Norman: Jury foreperson: State v. Bright 1996 - realised her mistake and fought for Dan's release Kathleen: "The entire trial from the time we started selection of the jury until the time I said that I sentence this man to death was a day and a half... There's a weird circular logic that happened in the jury room and that was - if no defence was presented it must be because there is no defence, And if there is no defence it must be because the guy is guilty." Dan Bright: "Even when they realised they were wrong they still didn't give me a new trial, they still didn't cut me loose, they just downgraded my charge to "Life". That's still a death sentence to me -it's just a slow death sentence."

Contemporary potrait artist born in Hammersmith, England.
My work explores the relationship between artist, subject and viewer and the contribution of each into the creation of a work of art. The subject, although ultimately at the mercy of the artists interpretation, inevitably reveals aspects of his character through, for example, the clothes he wears.
The artist acts as director, selecting the subject and composition, and varying paint density and clarity to draw into focus certain areas, while leaving others undefined and insubstantial. This juxtaposition of different visual languages draws the viewer into the physicality of the paint and canvas the image, although rooted in reality, is not a fact but the creation of artistic rendition.
Finally, although guided by the artist, the remaining contribution to the painting is that of the viewer whose own personal experiences will define his response to, and interpretation of the work.
