'Collateral'
| A group of oil paintings and charcoal drawings, each the same format as a 30" television screen, depicting individuals caught up in dreadful social conflicts and momentous geophysical events. These are 'portraits' of people who are anonymous to me, whose features have momentarily passed across my TV screen and whom I have seen almost inadvertently. Unlike with conventional portraits, no intimacy is possible in these paintings. Empathy and imagination go into making them but these don't get me closer to the person. Apart from his/her physiognomy all I really have to linger over is the probable situation of each individual. |
