About The Artwork
This Painting is part of the Africa Series, being informed by time spent in Africa, Malawi in particular, and much reading around post colonialism on the continent. The Idea that a dominant personality, as in "The New Big Man" who is eagerly awaited by the people as their new leader and alleviator of their suffering, comes to power only to break all promises and bring a worsening of the common peoples lot. The medium of acrylic was use so as to spead drying times and also to explore the limitations of the medium, as opposed to oil paint. The panoramic dimensions of the canvas are intended to covey the breath of power that these African "Big men" have over their subjects.

My recent work uses painting, photography, digital media and writing to record and translate the experience of people and place, taking a small village in Malawi, East Central Africa, as its subject. I have pursued a professional practice and worked as a lecturer in range of fine art subjects in London for the past thirty years.
