"Oriental"


The piece is made up of a montage of images of the orient pasted onto the canvas then painted over to subdue them. A black 'kanji' style motif dominates the centre whilst subtle white trickles give the impression of oriental writing. Black trickles are the last layer with a single red hi-lite of trickle.
The idea is to represent the repressive cultures found in the east with the images and white writing depicting the true and pure nature of the populace with the harsh black governmental kanji taking centre stage - the black writing is representative of the doctrine the populace is made to live by - the red, speaks for itself!
