The Ablution of the Colossus – 2025

Mixed media collage and oil paint on shaped board. H32 x W42 cm

A mythical-like shapely figure of a female ‘Colossus’ ritually bathes herself in the shallows off the beach. She is imprudently lathered-up on public view from behind, and advantage is taken of this by a gathering of figures on the beach observing her.

A humouresque image itself seen voyeuristically through the eye-hole shaped antiquated oval frame.
