About this painting
This was inspired by a Facebook exchange about Rolf Harris, a television painter and entertainer who had been jailed at the time. I remarked that his time in prison might make him a better artist, a genuine comment about the benefits of periods of reflection, isolation, examination; but my comment was taken negatively.
The thoughts of prison made me think of Goya's Black Paintings, and his gruesome prints, and this image, a dimly lit greeny-ochre prison with a handing figure came to mind. Inspired at that moment, I grabbed my paints and set to work immediately, a rare impulsive display. |
