Mepaintsme
Fear
The blanket is thin, and the fear is thick. We’ve all known it. But must we always cower?
The man’s terror is raw and sharp, but the insects are not. They seem fragile, gentle and almost playful.
Very many know Mepaintsme for his eye as a curator, but not that many know him as an artist. I asked him about this drawing. Here is what he said:
MEPAINTSME: For a period of time I was experimenting with varnish and allowing the back drawing to be seen through the front drawing, perhaps creating a new dialogue. A lot of my work explores subconscious fears and this transparent effect seemed to work well communicating this.
