ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is the fourth in what appears to be turning into a, Philip Guston-esque series. This time I was contemplating how the racist policemen who have killed people whilst apparently attempting to arrest them, feel or react to these crimes when off duty(I'm mainly referring to the practice of kneeling on their necks). Do they go home to their families without a thought of what they have done, is there any feelings of : Guilt, regret, shame?... Or does life simply go on? I was originally thinking of calling this painting, 'Smoking', because everything is. The term, 'fags' in my painting refers to the British slang term for cigarettes, it's also a reference to an episode of, Father Ted. The stitching on the 'shroud' is, Morse code and reads; 'No empathy, no compunction.'

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.
