Picture
Cat #6  Jeremy Elkington

SELF PORTRAIT - EMBRACING THE PAST
Oil on Canvas
130 cm h x 90 cm w
$10,000


​Artist’s Statement
In this self-portrait my intention was to evoke a sense of the ancient past and of the archaic, drawing upon a myriad of textures and tones.  Ancient Egypt provided a source of inspiration and the idea of reaching back into and embracing the ancient past was an alluring part of the process. Inspirational sources included: Francis Bacon, Ancient Egypt, the ancient past and the archaic in general, and Lucian Freud.
 
This portrait was submitted to the 2020 Archibald.
