Looking at the Monstrosity of Life Painting

Here is another painting in my most popular ‘Bosch’ series, depicting characters from some of Bosch’s great works. Hieronymus Bosch is known for his paintings of amazing and wonderful pictures. He was one of the first European painters to paint about everyday life. He let the horrors he saw each day spill out onto his painting, which was creative and different for his period. I am enamoured by his work and can spend hours examining his work. As his work has so much going on, I decided to extract several small pieces and characters from his paintings and make them my own. This piece I decided to use the backdrop taken from Bosch’s ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ and included a number of odd-looking creatures. Overlooking the whole scene is a lady who is totally enthralled in the goings on. This is a fun and colourful creation where you can lose yourself in studying what each character is doing. Through the relationship between the various elements within the work hints of narrative and representation may emerge. Perfect for adding a statement piece to living spaces that may create a talking point with visitors. Executed in good quality oil paints, painted on all sides, and finished with a glaze of gloss varnish to protect against sunlight and dust. It just needs a nail or wall fitting to sit flush against the wall. You will receive a signed certificate of authenticity. The painting is 24 x 32 inches, with a depth of 0.6 inches and is on stretched canvas. All art is professionally packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. My works have been shipped worldwide. About me: I am a painter, mostly in oils although I have begun to switch between oils and acrylics. I love to paint, love colours, shapes’, and textures. I love the idea that a different story can be read into each of my paintings and each viewer may interpret a story different to another.
