“Eccentricity” 2023

Description

“Eccentricity” explores the vulnerability and joy of being an eccentric individual. As the artist points out “being an eccentric person is a little like being naked. You stand out like a sore thumb”. Despite the raw nature of the human anatomy in the portrait, the artist gives the viewer optimism with a beautiful butterfly rising into a sky of refreshing clouds. The vandalised brick wall symbolises a rigid and imperfect view of society. The animated features of the painting, the eccentric individual, the butterfly, and the clouds; all rise above it.
