Meaning & Analysis

The dynamics of role-playing and impression-making are key to this work, in which a central position of the Venetian mask hints at the pressure of social norms and the atmosphere of anxiety the male figure has been immersed in. As the man holds the prop in front of him, the viewer cannot be sure whether the ongoing act is one of assuming a mask or taking it off. The closed eyes of the figure may suggest that the short moments of wearing a natural expression are too vulnerable for the man to directly confront the viewer’s gaze. The predominant presence of grey tones combined with traces of dynamic brushstrokes and dripping paint deepen the dramatic overtone of the print with its emphasis on the imprisonment in the world of appearances.

  • Irish-born artist, Conor Harrington, transcends artistic boundaries with his dynamic visual language. Born in 1980, Harrington seamlessly melds classical painting styles with more contemporary, abstract techniques. His monumental works weave narratives around gender, identity and social commentary, whilst his visual language brings together the old and the new, and draws parallels between cultural issues that transcend time. Harrington's bold strokes combined with subtle detail provoke introspection and have the ability to command attention in both urban and gallery spaces. This unique fusion of street and canvas cements Harrington's legacy in the urban art scene.
