The Thespian


When you walk passed a person you only really see the moment within that section of time. This painting to me personifies the title of my new collection of paintings ‘You Think You Know Me’. I have been once again experimenting with placing a figure within a constructed environment. This is a man now finding himself on the margins of society left reflecting on the fleeting prestige of his yesterdays. I wanted the painting to hold quite a hallucinatory vibe. The cats, broken golden cage and the kite with a key attached all seem as if they belong to a world of half sleep and we are perhaps watching a man’s past and present collide together.
