Description: A Car Racer with Mask and Helmet. "Rory The Racer" is a mixed media piece from my "Antilife Manics" series (an anagram of the "Financial Times). The works reflect on the struggling individual in contemporary society. The salmon pink newspaper serves both as background and foreground text. The collages and paintings tell stories of anxiety, mental turmoil and suffering and can be understood as a comment on today’s pressures in society. As a whole this body of work represents “Weltschmerz”, the realisation one’s own weaknesses are caused by the inappropriateness of the world.
