Epoxy resin

The Strongest Link

Original title: Le maillon fort

An arm-wrestle: two men, foreheads almost touching, hands locked.

The bodies are modelled in burnt sienna on a rosy ground and have the weight of an antique relief, to which the resin adds the polish of marble. Neither man gives an inch. Their locked arms make a closed ring, and that is the point: the strongest link is neither of them. It is the grip.

About the series

Epoxy resin is poured over the oil: it seals the painting beneath a glassy thickness, deepens the colours and reflects light. The work becomes an object, a surface the eye slides across before entering.
