Ticket to Shitworld (2022)Oil painting by Rory Mitchell

Misery and joy for the price of one!
A man rides high under an early evening sky. In an attempt perhaps to reanimate an evaporating vigour for life, the man could well have exacerbated a problem instead. The moment is his alone. His inner perceptions of the world are also his alone. His bona fide life, like ours, can only be that of a lonely existence.
‘Ticket to Shitworld’ is a piece of both cheer and tragedy and explores the relationship of the two entwined together. The piece could well be an allegory for human existence, where happiness can only exist because of sadness (and vice versa).
