Cook’s Marriage: Pointing Finger (The Gesture of Rule) and the Cleaver
2025
oil on canvas
‘This painting is about marriage and authority, but it is no ordinary marriage, it is the marriage of two cooks. The painting is full of innuendo and symbol. The cook is never an easy person and is usually unrepentant and rebellious and this is never more the case than in this picture. The colours are vibrant and almost luxurious suggesting harmony and marital bliss yet the symbolic content seems contradictory with latent conflicts. What can one do?’
