Artist's Comments

done in oil on canvas. the left side of the canvas is primed while the right is not. this painting does have several layers of personal symbolism but if you find them for your self it will be more meaningful, or you don't have to interpret anything from it but do try.

Hmm.... let's see....
There's tear gas (gas mask + tear), which I assume is supposed to represent oppression, the person under the gas mask has exposed clavicles, which I can only assume represents insecurity/vulnerability, and the long neck...

...so you're being oppressed by an insecure Judy Lucas?
:iconbobomicgruvins:
lol nice interpretation. but don't take the gas mask so literately, i didn't mean to paint a gas mask, it just sorta came out as one.

also do the oppressed or the oppressors generally where gas masks?

oooooo i like it, i disagree i don't think it looks very much like a gas mask rather it looks more like and interpretation/adaption of the way the ancient egyptians would wear the masks that represented their gods, and this person has some sort of insect mask. i liiiikke it ^^
