I sat with this painting for many hours over a period of weeks before finally settling on its title. Of all the works I have made to date it was this one that did its best to elude me, and I'm happy it did. It is in fact the result of two paintings merged together. Those who stand close up will see the ghost of the warmer pink and red colours coming through the arctic white and deep sea teal above. The head of one creature atop the body of another. The title seemed very apt, as like its namesake it was a painting that had a very complicated conception.

Born in a remote village a short walk up the hill from artist Sir Stanley Spencer’s beloved Cookham, England, modern-day painter James Charles Hester also shares a reverence for that particular stretch of the River Thames. Citing it to have taught him everything he knows about light, shade, and texture. The only difference being that, unlike Spencer, his decision to follow the river out to its inevitable meeting with the sea and the greater world beyond was entirely of his own choosing. As such, it is no surprise that a great many of Hester’s paintings are scenes featuring water, albeit in varying degrees of abstraction. For it is within the abstract interpretations of nature that we can see the artist is firmly in his element. “I am constantly chasing an idea of variety within my work and it is my great hope that although I employ different levels of realism and abstraction, one could easily tell each piece was born of the same mind.” Presently sharing equal parts of the year between Malta and England, the artist is focusing his attention on capturing the almost limitless sights around Valletta, Mdina, and the Three Cities. Of which he says, “I could live a thousand lifetimes and still not have painted every view of this profoundly beautiful place. The river might have taught me light and shade, but it is the sea in relation to these shores that has taught me to look even closer at the complexity of colours and the harmony of a composition.”
