Subjugate Painting by Francis Reynolds

Art Description

Painting: Oil on Canvas.

Hands are significant in dislocating the connection an audience would normally encounter with a traditional portrait. The painting seeks to allow an audience to create their own narrative to the male and female subjects. What is happening? Why cover the eyes and mouth? What are their functions? I would hope the questions lead to other questions to create a scene or moment for the viewer.

This painting used Old Holland and Michael Harding professional oil paints. The ground is 10oz acrylic primed canvas with responsibly sourced 4.4cm deep stretcher bars.
