Violence – Oil paint and mixed media on board 61cm x 61cm 2024
Often considered the ultimate sin. The seventh circle of hell. The willingness to inflict injury, pain or death on others. Why does anyone assume they have this ultimate power?
Mans biggest problem is that he always thinks its all about him. I am the most important. If you are not with me, you are against me. Man is too keen to divide and to take ownership.
The other circles, along with mans willingness to take offence at our differences and indifference to the powerless leads here. I and we deserve power. Man becomes prepared to violate our opposite, our opposition. I am not a violent man. I have never struck another human in anger. Control over another is a loss of control. Love is lost.
