Original artwork description:

A political social commentary painting depicting dead pig posed as an object of art. By posing a dead animal in the same way female nudes are artistically posed I invite the viewer to consider the human value of innocent, sentient creatures which we slaughter for food. I have used deconstructions within the painting by spreading the paint across the boundary edges of the pig's composition. This has the effect of 'energising' the dead pig. It recreates the disturbing nature of the slaughter process.

The background shows inverted chicken carcasses with legs posed as trees. The group of dead poultry to the right are also posed to represent part of a landscape. The overall effect is surreal. Here I have been influenced by the style of Paul Nash's war paintings.

Factory farmed animals produce toxic waste products which threaten climate change. The Amazon rainforest is being cleared to plant soya for cattle feed. This toxicity found in all factory farming is represented as green gas in the background of this painting. The 3 human figures are wearing biosecurity capes and masks; symbolising an apocalyptic or pandemic type event.

This painting will be sent with a hand written certificate of authenticity.
