Peter
power
(107cmx107cm, acrylic on canvas)
To me, this is a picture of tranquility, contemplation and reflection.
The nudity of the image with its pendant genitals projects a feeling of security as well as vulnerability -
a combination suggesting non-aggressive power and pride.
The figure's wide-open, languorously feminine posture enhances its masculinity,
while a luminous environment of land, sea and sky suggests harmony with nature and self.
The bracelet on the right wrist and bluish skin tones imply spiritual aspiration with a hint at immortality -
a pro-male statement to challenge contemporary clichés.
