Desperate men 36 x 24 ins (detail)
Not a desperate-looking picture - for a reason! This picture is about depression, the break-up of depression, and finally healing - all sorts of things that might be going on under the surface of a man.
The frame in pinstripe cloth signifies the polite manners with which emotion is held in. Also shown as ‘Stiff Upper Lip’, this painting contrasts the calm exterior with the chaos often experienced inside.
