Original artwork description:

Agentic Agenda is a painting based on the research of psychoanalyst, Stanley Milgram. His experiments looked into the effects of authority and obedience.

Here I attempt to embody his theory of 'The Agentic State' - in which an individual come to view themselves as an instrument for carrying out another person's wishes, therefore no longer taking responsibility for his/her own actions.

Materials used:

Oil on Canvas
