Who would be king Painting

Who would be king evaluation by Eliza Yacheva. This highly abstract painting depicts a human face with generalized features and a crown. It embraces the timeless shapes of geometric abstractionism - half and full circles and squares. Although the artwork shows total absence of a third dimension, a sense of sublimity and spirituality is achieved. There is a strong sense of the aesthetic Primitivism, the praise of African traditional masks and Iberian sculptures, which enhances the emotional and atmospheric value. The artist Dominic Cooper was inspired by William Shakespeare‘s play Richard III. The play depicts the Machiavellian rise to power of Kind Richard III of England who was considered as a Medieval tyrant. It is a historical drama and is based on real events of Richard III‘s reign. In the play, Richard decides to take the throne for himself by killing his brother Clarence, all noblemen who are loyal to the princes and also has the prince‘s mother‘s family arrested and killed. He also has his wife, Queen Anne, murdered. The play puts emphasis on his evil charms and how Richard III used language as a tool for manipulation. The artist‘s choice for predominant use of red is not accidental. It suggests the quantity of blood spilled in order to be crowned as a King.
