I, honestly, have absolutely no idea. I do plan my work extensively before putting paint to canvas. In this instance I chose the individual images because I liked them. Why? I have no idea. The image in the top right was originally going to be a traditional circus clown. But if you ever go looking for ‘clown’ reference all you find are scary clowns. Images, usually American, of people with clown make-up applied to convey and impart the macabre, grotesque and confrontational. I remember as a child in the UK being taken to The Blackpool Tower Circus. I’d be about eight. Blackpool was a British holiday resort much favoured in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. It’s landmark was a tall Eiffel-Tower like construction with a ringed circus at the top. There were horses, bears, acrobats and tight-rope acts. For the finale they filled the ring with water. As an eight year old I thought they must be fucking crazy! Charlie Cairoli was top-of-the-bill. He was a clown. A slapstick clown who played the clarinet. His act became popular but, when looking for reference, all I could find was a black and white image of what he looked like in the 1950’s. That’s him, top right, in my painting. As for the other images. Is one someone else’s cat I once knew? Another an ex-girlfriend? Or maybe a geezer I met in Sri-Lanka? So many questions, but as the title says - There Are No Easy Answers.
