Title: Doof-or-Die
Size: width 400mm x height 300mm
Medium: Enamel paint on canvas
Description:
This painting is part of my Doof series. Doof or Bush Doof, is an Australian term for a rave event held outdoors in nature. This painting references the Jolly Roger flag. The Jolly Roger was originally a red flag depicting a skull and cross bones and was a French Pirate flag, known as the Jolie Rouge.
I am exploring the fusion of historical tastes with a modern and forward thinking approach.
Title: Black Jack
Size: width 920mm x height 700mm (framed)
Medium: Mixed media on canvas
Description:
Skulls are iconic and have meaning without the need for words. They are part of a universal language.
The skull and cross bones also known as a Black Jack. A ship flying the Black jack was a clear message to seafarers of any language because they understood the iconography.
The skull when used in art is highlighting themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The skull symbolises the inevitability of death.
My personal reason for painting the skulls is that they are a powerful icon and represent all of us; human beings without age, sex or skin colour.
