About this artwork
An inelegant canter through the troposphere
‘The wee whorl’ depicts a man cavorting with nature. He appears to engaging his environment, celebrating it’s latent beauty.
The figure himself is comprised of rigid forms, with each form directing the eye to different parts of the painting. Emphasis in particular has been placed on the outstretched arm; it playfully describes the central vertical axis of the piece precisely. Despite these deliberate compositional… elements, the man, contradictorily, appears to be clumsy. His pose seems to imply an awkward gait, if not an awkward personality.
The clouds are an indication of wind direction and also imply, to comic-affect, the momentum of the man. Small clouds almost seem to be kicked back by his movement.
The grass in the foreground is also used to convey the swirling winds. However, there is an expressionist use of line and form that suggests the emotional state of man and the ambience of the piece as a whole.

« 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.
