About this artwork
THE EXECUTIONER
The Mary Dugdale Award for Portraiture
Max MacCabe Trophy
Throughout my life, health challenges have been a constant battle. I have developed strategies to manage the pain and prevent it from ruling my life. One of the most powerful, yet most difficult, is the skill of detachment: the ability to detach from the pain that threatens to stop me.
This work explores the intense mental discipline required to control the dark side of… my existence. The fractured, multi-perspective composition reflects the confusion and struggle of the process.
The severed head of the executioner rests upon a block. This depicts my ability to execute the suffering, severing the pain from its ability to control me. The painting itself is shown to be slipping away from the canvas, a visual metaphor for the deliberate separation from pain, physically, emotionally and mentally.
Janice Lightowler is an accomplished multi award winning oil painter with a BA Hons Degree in Art and Design from Ulster University, Northern Ireland, whose practice grew amidst personal and political upheaval. She employs meticulous, naturalistic techniques on a large scale, using a single tiny brush per canvas to achieve radiant luminosity and astonishing detail in her landscapes and portraits. The brush is then attached to the back of the canvas and remains with the piece. Starting with only a few marks on the canvas, Janice pushes the concept of standard composition. All these techniques have been developed to help her manage and control extreme spinal pain and the complexities of each piece consumes her. Her emotionally charged works blend nostalgia, despair, hope, and pain, inviting viewers into a space where beauty and suffering coexist, ultimately uplifting and deeply moving all who encounter them.
