The Master
Original title: Maître
An old man’s white-bearded face, set inside an egg.
The egg is cut in two like a helmet, or a Russian doll, and stands on a plinth of plaited bread. Behind it runs a brick alley of arches and steps that could be Siena, and on the wall are two gold letters: OK. A master is the person whose approval you are waiting for. This one looks at us and does not give it.

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.
