ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is the third painting of mine inspired by the painting style of artist, Philip Guston. Once again the subject is Racism and intolerance. Guston's use of almost comical figures in his work, lend his paintings a sinister sense of foreboding, and this is what I hoped to achieve in my piece. The racist police officer(this is not a comment on all police officers, just the racist ones)nonchalantly takes a cigarette break with his vicious dog, he displays a complete lack of empathy as society suffers all around him. The cigarette smoke rings have formed the word, 'love'as they lose their integrity in the air around them. The stitching on the white cloak spells out,'Hate' in Morse code.

Kevin Francis Smith

kevinfrancissmithart.art I was born in the wagon of a travelling show in Liverpool, England in 1960 into a working class family. Things were a little tight, but Papa did whatever he could; preached a little gospel, sold a couple bottles of Doctor good. I spent my childhood dodging school bullies(these were mainly the teachers), playing with my Action man, and drawing. I didn't go to art college and I regret that, but it just seems to have been something that has always eluded me. I did eventually end up as a self- employed freelance cartoonist and illustrator( aka, Kes ). I am entirely self taught apart from my A level. I have designed greetings cards for numerous card companies and my cartoons have appeared in journals worldwide. I have always continued to paint, although I do seem to be painting a lot more of late. My paintings are inspired by; Dreams, memories, News, booze and probably other artists on occasion. With my background in cartooning, I suppose I can't avoid injecting a little humour and cynicism into my work.
