About The Artwork
Inspired by Carl Jung, this painting is a wry look at how we all present a highly edited version of ourselves to the world; we whitewash over the aspects of ourselves that we fear others may not accept, but from behind this mask we continue to observe and modify the image of ourselves we project to others. The white paint is laid down with texture, recalling the feel of whitewash that has be layered up over the years. Splashes of colour are provided by several self-portraits featuring my old blue painting jacket and eye. The painting is uncluttered and brightly lit to represent the environment of the conscious mind ... one may imagine all sorts of clutter being hidden by the façade itself. The painting plays a game of depth, we are invited to believe the flatness of the wall interrupted by the figure on the ladder and the window to the world within. This painting is supplied in a tray frame with D-rings and picture string. It is signed on the front lower right of the canvas.
