Original artwork description:

The painting is titled “Tomorrow is another day”. This modern interpretation of the Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, has been produced century-old book pages from the book.

Along with Scarlett girlish charms, which could rival the prettiest of the Southern Belles, Scarlett was intelligent and headstrong. Even in the face of extreme war and hardship, Scarlett possessed the ability to become independent in times of inequality

About the Painting

The hand-painted on original book pages which are over seventy-five years of age and are mounted on cotton duck canvas stretched over kiln dried quality wood stretchers. The stretchers use aluminum dowels to ensure the painting is rigid, allowing the works to be hung without the need for framing (if desired). Work is 24mm deep giving the painting impact when hung.

About Cain’s Work

Cain creates beautiful and intriguing art imagery by painting carefully composed figures on vintage book pages. Any space between the figures exposes a background, which gives them context and narrative. The subjects are always turned away from the observer, seemingly engaged in the narrative, which remains magically elusive. As time continues to pass, the contemporary presence of the reader will age along with the older book pages. Interestingly, this ageing will be observed by future viewers of the painting.
