About The Artwork
'...for 'i' have sinned.' Oil on canvas. 1.2m x 1.5m. At first glance this is a religious painting dedicated to the loss of my good friend 'Mungo Leir' who passed just as I was underway. The painting obviously isn't religious, in a conventional sense, but it does seek to re-connect the word 'Fetish' with its original religious meaning. i.e. The worship of an object. Namely the smart phone. The angels are shining their light on Monica & Anna, whilst simultaneously both looking down at the smart phone, one angel emanating from the phone which is also connected to the name of my great friend Mungo who shone his light, in life, on many people. I wanted to try and create something that connected the past to the now, and that maybe looked at in one hundred years by my great grandson, who would wonder, as I did, at that one hundred year gap and what it means. Other than another five billion people on the planet.

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
