This painting is about revolution.
The figure stands strong and symbolic, inspired by the propaganda of Soviet posters and the Russian Revolution of 1917.
The figure acts as a mascot for revolution, projecting a defiant message. But his white skin and blank eyes are lifeless, and his stance static, and the television in his hands is a tool of manipulation.
I wanted to use strong colours, and the shock of red against white, whilst at first glance creates a bold statement, also harbours eerie undertones in its contrast of calm against violence.
