About this artwork
I was exploring the idea of the waking consciousness when I painted 'Tiredness Can Kill'.
Being asleep, unconscious or unaware of the hidden mechanics of modern life can have fatal consequences for the physical and spiritual well-being, so I thought it appropriate to name the artwork after a British road-sign, warning of the dangers to driving when tired.
Many of the characters in the painting have been taken and adapted from other historical artworks… and once discovered by the viewer will all add to the understanding of the narrative. The central female nude, for example, was adapted from 'Uylsses And The Sirens' painted by Herbert James Draper in 1909, and compares the dangers of falling under the influence of the seductive sirens song to the coercive use of politics, religion, economics, media, and the increasing use of artificial intelligence.
The painting is a call to wake up!
