About this artwork
This is a painting is influenced by a photograph taken by Francesca Woodman, a talented photographer who sadly took her own life. He story has impact and sadness.
The artist met a girl when he was about 17.
He only met her on one occasion and she was in need of help. Her story was a tragic tale and one of neglect and abuse. She was being pimped and was trying to leave that life behind when he met her. He think of her from time to time and wonder… what had come of her.
This painting reflected the loneliness some people feel in their lives. In can be internal or external and the impact often impacts on their mental health. This painting represents strength and self belief whilst recognising the need to be kind even if it means taking a chance.

« I paint because, like me, everyone has spaces and gaps in their stories where good things should be but aren’t. »
Kevin Gavaghan is an artist based in the United Kingdom whose works have been exhibited nationally. His paintings portray the psychological feelings and emotions that manifest from the subconscious as a result of living in a modern society while simultaneously thinking of the past. Gavaghan likens his style to contemporary baroque surrealism. Using oils, he twists and deforms the human figure, almost to the point of total abstraction, bringing them to life with bold colors.
