TRAPPED AND CAUGHT (Self Portrait) Oil on Canvas 135 cm h x 95 cm w $5,000 Artist’s Statement This self portrait was inspired by the work of the artist Francis Bacon. This was a deeply absorbing and exciting work, taking delight in establishing a range of interesting marks for the portraits and focusing on the relationship between the portraits and the interior space. While formulating this piece, I also listened a lot to The Shining soundtrack which I found most applicable to the style of the image. |
