The Hound
2020 - 2023
oil on canvas
70 x 100 cm
A big, black hound dimly emerges among the figures of this scene. The cooks seem casual and unaffected by its presence though it is enormous and threatening in its size. The structure of the painting allows the canine to appear harmonious yet the implication is intimidating if not terrifying and the hound though stationary could suddenly respond to the surrounding figures aggressively, barking, biting and then drooling over dismembered chefs. The Hound is a painting about hunger and the latency and force of hunger. It is a painting about the unknown, about unrecognised fear and the careful balance of things amidst the potential for absolute mayhem. The rag doll like figure who approaches the scene dressed in rust coat and ochre hat expresses this ultimate vulnerability.
