Oil on Canvas
Framed
2023/2024
Inspired by a Surry Hills corner in inner-sydney, the juxtapostyion of the haves and have-nots, the inner-city warehouse - once the artist’s domain now, now the traded like gold by developers, those who need social assistance but cannot help themselves, those who take matters into their own hands. Sometimes we pretend not to see. Sometimes we choose not to hear. Sometimes we prefer to hide. And sometimes we decide to act. If not now then when? If not you then who? This painting has been considerably reworked since I first exhibited it at The Other Art Fair in 2023. Sometimes I find it hard to leave a painting alone when hanging on my studio wall!
Please note: This painting is framed with a custom Tasmanian oak frame. The framed images are for demonstration only and the actual frame may vary from the images.
