this year i entered two paintings. one was a portrait of æowyn in a similar style to the one of imojjen from last year (i actually started the æowyn one first, but only just finished it this year). it was rejected. the other one was this, called 'the scream'. the basic premise is that language is being dumbed down and impersonalised through the use of txting and msging, why not try the same with images? so it's münch for the emoticon generation.
the first image is a close-up, the second in-situ at the blacktown city art gallery, to give an idea of the scale. the guy in the photo is my dad.
acrylic on unprimed canvas.
