This is a pathos rich work, where the mass colours create tangled human figures: heavy bodies which oppress and wriggle away from each other, expressing the motion of a whirling fight.
The numerous layers of paint, the stains and the colour castings on canvas, show all the physical effort and pain in the violence in progress.
I find this piece intriguing in a strangely beautiful way. To me it looks like a scene in the ocean. I clearly see a Sea Monster who has encircled a Mother and her child. The mother is tightly wrapped around her child in an instinctual protective pose. Your vivid colors & the way the paint is applied heighten the tension in this piece for me.
