Gossips Painting

The Gossips are a series of paintings and etchings. All the characters have been taken from images of people playing blind man’s buff: from paintings; prints; and photographs which is why there’s a mixture of styles and times spans in their clothes etc. They are all fairly innocent but just like gossip I have taken them out of their original contexts and mixed them up so that they look as if they are doing something else. The resulting scenes are more salacious and gossipy than their original beginnings.
