About this artwork
‘Pull’d the poor wretch from her melodious lay down to muddy death’ ‘incapable of her own distress’. WSA
This painting was created at the beginning of the UK Coronavirus lockdown. My mind at the time was semi focused on the pandemic and how we arrived here, and at the same time looking at how art and science can be bridged. The painting references Millais's Ophelia, unaware of her impending danger, just being kept afloat by her garments. A reference… also to the pandemic. There are various scientific references within the painting about life and futility. For me it is not a bleak painting, but it does take aim at ignorance but also shines a light on possibility.
The original painting of 'Legacy' was painted in 2020 with acrylic paint on Hahnemühle bamboo paper 265gsm.

« The creative mind in search for the unknown is the antithesis of futility. »
One of the key themes in Rian Hotton's art is his choice of palette, with which he happily takes risks. While he paints, Hotton listens to audiobooks on a wide range of topics, which influences the subjects of his pieces, almost as if they are a visual diary. He describes his painting style as 'boldly unorthodox', using both oils and acrylics.
