About this artwork
Lady Macbeth is one of the most powerful female characters in literature. This painting reflects the gender struggles which occur in the play, and how Lady Macbeth is in control of her husband, in order to seek the crown.
Cain creates beautiful and intriguing art imagery by painting carefully composed figures on old book pages from the early 1900s or before.
Any space between the figures exposes a background, which gives them context and narrative:… Books only come alive when they are read. The passing of time and trends will shape a reader’s interpretation of a book. These are often reflected as annotations that a reader leaves behind. Instead of an annotation, Cain interprets and paints a contemporary presence of the reader, character or author, which provides a connection between the figures and the narrative.
The original book pages are mounted on cotton duck canvas using sustainable forest certified wood stretchers.

« For me, painting people is an enjoyable experience, but people’s enjoyment of my paintings is the reason I paint. »
Cain is a passionate British painter who has exhibited throughout the UK. His love of people is what led him to become a portrait painter, and he enjoys how interactions with his subjects expose different layers of new stories. A principal concept in his work is that of 'negative space,' which refers to how he paints his subjects in a way that suggests they're disappearing into the background. Cain's subjects are turned away from the viewer and face the ambiguous story that envelops them, which in turn involves the viewer in the mystery and elusive magic of the work.
