150 x 150 x 4cm (unframed) / 150 x 150cm (actual image size)
£4,167.84
Original artwork description
Painted on a square high-quality canvas, the work exudes an almost wild energy. From the brushstrokes and chaotic stains, painted entirely with the left hand, a troubled and intriguing portrait emerges. This face is seen up-close and personal - almost too close for comfort - as its huge size seems to burst out of the borders of the canvas and into the real world.
"My intention was to look for what a depiction of an inner critic would look like within my universe..." says the artist, "I've made it a priority to engage this inner voice - I wanted to give it a face." The artist also gave attention to the expressive hand gestures of this inner voice which are charged with symbolic meaning.
Suited for a contemporary home that dares to provoke, this very personal and autobiographical work, "Deep Thoughts" is one of the first expressive gestural paintings made by Dominic Virtosu.
