Original artwork description:

‘Love, romance, arse’ depicts a man caught up in the throws of passion. His contorted, exaggerated gait describing a clumsiness and desperation. The disintegrating flower possibly suggesting an ultimate failure.
The landscape appears to be moulded around the main character: the faint cirrus cloud to the lower left and the rippling mountains below heighten the sense of his movement.
Despite the extravagance of the scene, the painting is still very much rooted in reality. The bare backside reveals perhaps an awkwardness, an absurdity, that is endemic amongst us all.
