'The thicket' is an allegorical piece that explores memories that remain firmly rooted in the present. Memories that are so persistent that they cultivate the very fabric of one's being.
At first glance there is an apparent absurdity about the painting. The subject's head is replaced by a fertile, tangled thicket of trees and flowers. Three characters appear to enjoy their isolation amongst the plants. However, the inclusion of the thicket could… also describe a memory that has become so prominent in the subject's mind that it is ingrained in his very character.

Medium : Oil on Canvas
Other details : Unmounted artwork. Mounting and/or framing available on request.
Dimensions : 35.4x27.6in

« Creating art is a necessity in my life. It allows me to communicate in the fullest manner, not bound by stumbled words or misinterpretations. »

Rory Mitchell is an experienced Norwegian artist who has participated in exhibitions and residencies in Norway and the UK. He balances a largely satirical tone - explorations of political agendas and the aligned engagement of whole populations - with a countering search for tranquility outside of these concerns. Primarily working with oil on canvas, he produces figurative paintings that showcase rich colour palettes and possess Expressionist undertones.
