About The Artwork

The title is a line from a song by Fela Kuti. I've represented a torso because it is completely depersonalised but yet houses, apart from the brain, all the major organs of the body. Air quality is rapidly diminishing, particularly in cities, but goes largely ignored, chiefly because of a reliance on and obsession with technology, however polluting. A tolerated side-effect, perhaps. But I've tried also to reflect in the painting a sense of some of the cultural pollutants that abide in corruption, routine violence, and even simply the atmospheres of fear and potential violence that attend notions of racial, ethnic and cultural differences.

Moving to France some years ago I was able to exchange the creative profession of accountancy for something more personally imaginative. A long-standing interest in literature - particularly modernist styles of writing - has become one of the main inspirations of my work. Contemporary political culture is a principal theme and, since I now enjoy a rural existence, issues concerning ecology. My methods have evolved from techniques derived from what in France is called bricolage (cutting, shaping, gouging, for instance), to intricate masking and the image-making potential of clear Perspex. Beyond the selection of paintings shown here, a more extensive range of my work can be seen at www.peterchamart.com.
