This is my own personal interpretation and portrait of Shiggi & Icarus - entitled 'DiamondCats' Oils on canvas. 70cm x 100cm. (No.14) The huge African Diamond light sits between the windows of Kilimanjaro, Africa, left, and Financial district London England, right. Framed 'Champion of the World'. Mohammad Ali, pierced with Arrows portrait. From Esquire Magazine 1968, in answer to his then recent name change, conversion to Islam, and draft refusal and the attack he was under from the 'establishment' for standing up for what he believed in. Jimi Hendrix, Experience - album cover. (The Worlds greatest guitarist) Rodregez, ColdFact - album cover - (was a symbol of protest against apartheid (a system created to strip the wealth of Africa by it's European oppressors)) its creator remaining ignorant to its success and receiving no royalties. The wild Zentai Zebra - Shiggi's alter ego. Icarus, the hairless Sphinx cat. (Reminds me of an interesting theory I was told by a friend, that the reason the Egyptian statues and others around the world from our distant past, are 'noseless' was a deliberate vandalism to hide the distinctive shape, that of their creators).

What is it every artist is trying to achieve? Recognition? Perfection? Fame? Wealth?... Or are they trying to convey something of themselves? To understand the inner workings of what it is to be a human and how that manifests into the people and the world around them? What shall I paint? Do I try to convey a message? Symbolism? Allegory? A legend? A myth? A story? All questions every artist since the cave has been grappling with and no doubt will continue to do so ad infinitum. My ancestors painted religion, I consider myself to be currently painting that which has replaced it in the age of nihilism, narcissism, identity & sexuality. So I'm trying to paint something that challenges the viewer, that dances on the edge of socially and culturally acceptable. Dares the observer to step outside of convention, to hang one of my paintings is going to require something other than just money, something more important than money... you won't see one of my paintings in the high street gallery! Buy art because you... ...LOVE IT! Guy. p.s. I have a free signed copy of my full colour art book, which is available on Amazon, if you are the first to send me an email via my 'Contacts' page on website, with 'USINU' as subject I will post you that book as a prize. Thank you for reading this. (I will post note here once over) www.GuyUsinUArtist.co.uk
