Épater la bourgeoisie Inspiration from: Au Lecteur, Poem of Charles Baudelaire, To (the) Reader. From Fleurs du Mal. With additions. If you've never exposed a hypocrite, their humbug, then you haven't had a really good laugh. Those who've had sense-of-humour by-pass surgery will not get Charlie's joke. One of the funniest poems ever written. "He is Ennui! His eye filled with an unwanted tear, He dreams of scaffolds whilst smoking his hookah. You know him, reader, this exquisite monster". Nature, including Human Nature, is Ugly for Baudelaire. Anti-Romantic aesthetic Realism. Nature is indifferent too. A belly-laugh rebuke of a poem about a monster of Common Human Nature. Name of the monster then and now. Hypocrisy. Noticed any in 2020? Spot on Charlie. Classic. Lots of laughs. Rich, thick oil-paint in layered impasto. Heavyweight 380 gm canvas used for support.

Lowborn, lacking Luxury Beliefs, but not inverted snob. Orphaned, outcast, male, straight, white, capitalist (a tiny fish in a very big pond), quite conservative in fiscal and social matters. In long term and friendly relationship. Purposely irrelevant prankster, yet pragmatic, singular, evolved, authentic, ironic, sardonic, sceptical. I realise some of these classifications could go against one. Definitely not intersected. Comparatively deprived early life, which has had life-long permanent effect. Not least in being grateful, for what I've got. And for any opportunities that I can both recognise and take. These themes within some of my works. Never faked a sarcasm too. Personally loyal to those who have tried or helped me. What else is a man of honour to do? Really enjoy painting, sometimes. In silence, without media lies etc., have noticed sound of my own breathing as I paint. Most expressive, rather than regular. Still learning after all these years. Still learning. Thank you for your interest.
