About this artwork
Acrylic and collage on canvas. This painting is from a series inspired by family photographs taken to mark holidays and special events. The people and/or children appear happy in the photo and are posed as required by parents or relatives, yet upon the viewers' closer inspection, disruptions in the main narrative and the space can be detected. A single bird sits on the table as a portent of death (the death of the father/photographer) as well as…
an opportunity for transcendence. the fact the the children seems oblivious underscores their acceptance of the "happy family" face that most families present to outside world despite human problems, dysfunction, and skeletons of the past. These works explore family dynamics associated with unexpected loss of a family member; shattering of the life of a child. This painting has been exhibited widely, most notably in London and Santa Ana, CA.
