About this artwork
An original watercolour picture in portrait format on Windsor & Newton Cotman NOT paper, 140lbs.
A large globe encapsulates a figure in a hi-viz jacket, clutching the bars of a detention centre. He has his back to the viewer as he looks out to a bright sunny world outside.
This picture, hopefully, conveys the sense of the everyday worker boxed... out of sight, to the ruling elite. The title refers to the current political set up in the UK.
The bright… orange background adds contrast to the figures and shapes in the picture. The two gate figures at the top of the image, represents either an opening or a closure.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
I, Stephen Alpe, a self-taught watercolourist, started painting in watercolours back in 1986. Impressed by the artwork in ornithological books illustrated by artits such as David Reid-Henry. I strived to achieve the same level of excellence, but, where as, Reid Henry made it look like the subjects were about to fly off the page, my initial efforts looked like they had been carved out of stone!
I did, in time improve and was able to illustrate a few calendars and magazines.
On moving to the UK in 2007, I moved into painting landscapes and news items that caught my imagination. From 2012, I began to notice the works of the street artist Banksy. Other artists that I admire include Wassily Kadinski, Joan Miro and Pol Ledent.
