George Rouy holds a hazy mirror up to physical and psychic states in Tearing of the Savage Breast.

A scene of emotional chaos and tangled limbs is contained within a crimson backdrop. Rouy observes the body with a sensorial approach. He distorts some parts with gestural swirls, whilst others remain in calm focus. Although defaced, the three figures remain part of the same world, demonstrating the constant push and pull between the figurative and abstraction seen in the artist's recent works.

“I am reacting to the time. Things aren’t pretty at the moment and I’m exploring that with the work.”
