A series of large scale monochrome paintings that use Victorian pornography as the source material. The pictorial space is created by the subject dividing out of itself.. The staged nature of Victorian pornography ape a conservative type of 19th Century salon painting that’s become corrupted.
My idea was to use this imagery and titling from Greek mythology as comment on the human condition.
.
Four of these recent large scale monochrome paintings were shown alongside works from another series:’ Progress’ which also uses historical subject as a device or way to reflect upon the contemporary world.
