The Capitalist World [18 x 24 inches Acrylic on canvas] In this dog-eat-dog world, my painting presents itself as a reimagination of the same. The red background at first glance instils in us feelings of nervousness and anxiety, it imitates the harsh realities that exist in the growing capitalist economy. When the gaze shifts onto the woodpeckers, the vision is to capture the action of their pecking as the harmful behaviours people project in their fierce competition. The heads of the woodpeckers extend from a human form annotating that humans act essentially in their nature. The disturbed and provoked expression of the blue face is the focal point driving the emotion of the painting to encapture its smaller nuances.
