Oddly alluring, half-remembered subjects populate the large-scale canvases of young British painter, George Rouy.
Reprising an original painting from his Maelstrom series, Keeping it for Myself – the artist’s first ever print edition – centres on the cut finger and steady gaze of its fleshy pink figure. Sanguine symbolism connects the work with canonical religious painting, and ultimately serves as a playful yet poignant reminder that “when everything is stripped away, the only thing we own – and yet can’t control – is our mortality.”
