The Bravest Man In The Universe Painting

Using the title of his latest album, this painting of Bobby Womack seeks to capture the singer-songwriter's playful nature whilst also, through surrealism, looks to address his troubled personal life, especially his battle with drug addiction. The surrealism can also be interpreted as an attempt to portray the speculation that the musician is in the early stages of Alzheimer's, a subject close to the painter's heart. Using oils, layers are meticulously applied over many weeks. These layers which are visible close up seemingly blend and merge when viewed from a distance, a technique used to add a high level of depth to the painting. Painting is in an extremely high quality, professionally made custom frame. The frames style is called floating and surrounds the painting, giving the piece a contemporary clean look.
