Prometheus Surveying The World

£1,200.00

Acrylic, fluorescent pigments, UV varnish on canvas.

Size: 40cm x 40cm [16” x 16”].

My paintings consider space, both pictorial and illusory; light, both natural and man-made; and energy, both painterly and contained..

A universal motif, the skull is seen in art across all human cultures throughout history, and as such acknowledges our shared experience and commonality. To reflect this historical context, the 'Star Eyed Skull' motif, or the ‘Flame Eyed Skull’ motif in this case, has a tribal feel - and has been reduced down to its most simplistic representation.

At the same time, in order to assert that these artworks are created in the present, the skull is rendered as neon. This not only makes the tribal motif contemporary, but also the fact that neon gives off light; symbolises how science, knowledge and art illuminate our lives.
