Swallow

[60 x 42]
Mixed media gouache.

the art –

          Action becomes rival to the form as the structure is the quest of explosive turmoil. Fiercely painted, the brushwork tears to pieces the nude figure that could no longer be salvaged. There is a sparse development of lineage & rendering as the structure completes itself & has no apologies when it comes to its dominating phallic tool.

the gate –

          The gate holds such force and strength that it is testament enough to its supremacy over innocence. Here infancy and youth will have their purity torn open to bleed out any hope of moral development. The ‘swallow gate’ will slaughter puberty and maturity as well, and the functionality they bear…  thus the innocent will be left with guilt and innocence will no longer have a claim… for its virtue and spirit, at this gate, will be plundered and raped.
