Blood Blues - Arwen Kernaghan
Description
Acrylic on canvas - Framed 640mm x 890
** IMPORTANT CONDITION OF SALE FOR THIS LOT: This piece forms part of the artist's GCSE / A Level portfolio and must be retained by the school until October 2025. We can assist the buyer with the creation of a replica print for display in the interim.
ARTIST STATEMENT: Studying queens and kings at the time, I focused on my mother. The strive for fame throughout her life, crowned in a card board crown here depicting the way she has built her self, a bittersweet twist on royalty and self made power. She holds her guitar, not playing but clutching, I took detail to her hands, as she is now suffering arthritis creating a constant battle between pain and her art. The lighting is golden hour, an omen of a painting hangs dishelvelled on the wall, the ambiguity as to whether it is sunrise or sunset remains on the viewers interpretation. Despite all this, her glance provokes a kind of strength.
