Description

Outsider art portrait

It’s my first time painting a canvas so tall and narrow (48 x 108) I rather enjoyed it so will certainly be returning to these dimensions in the future. The painting depicts Inmate 021975 and is to some degree a self-portrait. As with many of my paintings, it’s a splash painting with the figure worked up over many layers. As a result of this process, it’s quite heavily textured.

This painting is part of the Algorithm series. The algorithm series is a series of paintings about how we live now in a dystopian reality at the mercy of bad-faith actors and algorithms, that decide how we think, feel, and behave.

Written in the mouth is the word ‘BOK’ which is Turkish for shit, and here functions as an offensive exclamation.
