I Wanna Be You


I am very interested in how figures pass through space. In this instance not necessarily a traditional landscape but a construct. Although the text on this painting alludes to the scene being set in London, the sharp yet over exaggerated angular background could represent any metropolis. With this painting I wanted to depict just how much do you need to attain to truly have enough and how much can be lost within a life that has become isolated. The inclusion of the macaw parrot tethered to the man’s hand holds what could be seen as his last positive vestige of confidence, as he walks towards a small memory of someone from his past or perhaps a totem signifying his anxieties and desires towards his future.
