Hey Everyone,
Here it is:
www.guydenning.org/guyorg/sitedocuments/archive/2006_archive/2006_pages/0450.htm
Please don't ask how much I want for it, just make me an offer. I'm afraid it will have to be a good offer as I am very reluctant to sell.
I'm off travelling in Feburary and have just found out exactly how expensive it's going to be!
I will be putting it on ebay if I have no interest.
Thankyou
Email from Guy:
"It started off as a painting of a torturer (the renderer of enhanced interrogation)
I wanted to get the idea of the dehumanising nature of the torturer. Of what the torture does to the actual person dishing out the torture. I was hoping to show the torturer as also being an unknowing victim of their own inhumanity.
So it also became about the victims of military torture generally with this person being both the torturer and the tortured. I wanted him to seem simultaneously strong and powerless.
It's been so long since I painted the piece that I can't remember all the ideas that informed it (except the technique of Goya's paintings). "
If you read this Guy, please don't be offended. I am a massive fan of your work and the only reason I am selling is because I am off on a round the world trip in Febuary. With such a small amount of time to go, it would be silly of me not to sell as I have got a pretty lousy job! ;D I only hope I can afford to buy it back when I return
