À propos de l'œuvre
Description
In Myxomatosis (Self-Portrait in a Mirror), Patrick Procktor employs expressionist techniques to offer a compelling glimpse into his psyche. The artwork features a distorted reflection that intricately captures his facial features—particularly emphasizing the head, forehead, and cheek—in a raw and emotive manner. Procktor's palette is both dark and haunting, with swirling colors that evoke a sense of emotional turmoil and introspection. The brushwork is frenetic and spontaneous, creating an almost dreamlike quality that mirrors the chaos of thought and identity. This self-portrait delves deeper than mere visual representation; it explores the complex interplay between self-identity and how one perceives oneself. The mirror serves as both a literal and metaphorical device, reflecting not only Procktor’s outward appearance but also his inner conflicts and existential musings. By transcribing the human experience into paint, Procktor compels viewers to confront their understandings of self, beauty, and the nature of existence.
