How the Light Gets In

This work reflects musings on the nature of the human condition and interpretations of self, of different faces of the ‘self’ and of the nuances of expression in the language of the body. It explores the inspirations and imperfections that encompasses the complexity of being human. As in the revealing lyrics of Leonard Cohen, “there is a crack in everything – that’s how the light gets in”.

The painting surface has been varnished with four coats of polymer gloss MM7 and a final solvent based gloss varnish MM14 to aid in protection against light and physical damage. It has D-rings and wire on the back for hanging.

This art explores colour, form, pattern and figuration and recompose the shapes and shadows of nature and the built environment. It is based on realism with a distortion factor, canvassing aspects of the ordinary and the extraordinary and evoking a sense of the social dynamics and psychological layers of identity and place.
