RobertBoynes, ‘The White Veil’ 2008, acrylic on canvas, 120 x 120cm
|
The language of this image is intimate & erotic. The characters are performing a game, a dance, a fantasy that they know well. This is as much for themselves as it is for the viewer. Their arms form a bridge through which they are able to heighten the drama & tension that is ambiguously revealed through the veil that partly screens them. Their anonymity is preserved by the painting being treated largely in negative with the image layered several times to enhance the sense of motion & performance. This static image captures them in a flashlight moment, just before the canvas fades to black.
