Henry (Eraserhead) Painting

'Henry' is a painting inspired by the character of Henry from the Surreal film 'Eraserhead' from Director David Lynch. Film is very influential to me. The dramatic light, tension and sound of particular film resonates with me and can at times feed into a work I have made. Henry wonders through his built up scruffy industrial world. Industrial white noise sound of man made engineering resonates. He goes to and from factory work in his bubble, things happen to him, he seems to look at things like they are clues. a constant pensive look of curiosity. His room, his little world. I was similarly drawn to Hitchcock suspense film 'Rear Window'which also has features a small apartment and the sound of the city outside. Antihero Travis Bickle in Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver' also has his room in which his psychotic thoughts develop. I connect with the feel of particular film. They come from the same place. Here is Henry, emerging out of shades of white. Colour choice is led by what is right for the piece. I often obscure an eye, edit a figure, because its too dominating otherwise and doesn't leave space for mood and movement of thought. I also like to obscure and eye or both as a reference to the unknowns of the Human being.
