About The Artwork
There is a stark contrast between Van Gogh’s red-headed lumberjack face, his rural mannerism and the extraordinary sophistication of his coloured dream world. When I painted him, I wanted to reconcile this duality. I sculpted his skull as if with a trowel, with great stabs of paint. It bled. Then I painted his eyes with a totally surreal Cobalt blue, a complete departure from the head I’d just created. It seemed as if he was hypnotized—gazing toward another world. At first, I wasn’t sure I liked the irruption of this blue. It wasn’t planned. The shade of Van Gogh’s eyes probably didn’t match. Then I understood. It was precisely him. It’s what he would have wanted. A free, subjective colour. Of the kind the ancient Japanese whispered into his ears. A colour that exposes what we cannot see. A colour that speaks what words cannot say. A colour emerging from the dream world of a drunken and fanatical prophet.
