Mercy Painting

When painting figures I hope to capture not just the subject's physical appearance but also a sense of the feeling of what it would be like to encounter this person. Portraiture often seems to be completely intertwined with a built in narrative of who the person is presenting themselves to be. I like to explore the ambiguity of an encounter, when we're not quite sure who we're looking at or what they want In this painting I tried to subvert or undo the figure's dominance within the painting's composition. I painted the figure comparatively thinly whilst the background is comprised of thicker globules and splashes of acrylic.
