About this painting
An idea that came to me on Wednesday 28th April 2010. This is about the feminisation of society and had two influences; the emotional attitude of the main party leaders in the 2010 general election that was being held at the time, and also the film Saw III, which I began to watch on the Tuesday night.
The vision was of a man in a dark dank prison cell, impaled and leaning over. Here, something like a rhino's horn is cause. The window is a vee shape, a symbol, like the moon beyond, of the female; this is a contrast to the spike of an inverted vee, or indeed, horn. The rose lies discarded, though perhaps not dead. |
