1990 oil on board 550 x 444mm
This was the first painting I started, and second one I finished (Just after 8 o’clock was completed in the middle) back in Hanover Road, London, 1990. My flatmate and I were bored one afternoon, so we decided to try painting.
This is based on the Jantar Mantar historical observatory in Jaipur, India, which I visited in 1988. The man in the lower right was a guy waiting for train at Pokran, Rajasthan, India. I’m not sure what the big chicken with a pyramid nose (top left) is all about. Please let me know your artistic interpretations and I’ll include them so I sound like I have some kind of cohesive plan going on.
