Go Ahead…

Original title: Allez-y de…

A staircase built out of a face, and at the top a moon you would rather not look at too closely.

A nude, seen from behind, has one foot on the first step. Each riser carries a slice of a giant face: a closed eye, a nostril, a red mouth. On the pedestal above sits a sphere that is cratered like a moon and rounded like a bottom. Pale nudes drift round the edges like half-remembered dreams. The title leaves its sentence unfinished, and so does the painting.

About the series

Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
