This is painting No.138 entitled "Child with Progeria" which i completed entirely today (June 28th 2010).I wanted to show an androgynus Child with this terrible affliction, who is seated on the cusp of pink and blue (Blue for boys,pink for girls) which adds to the ambiguous gender of the child, as this condition makes the sex hard to determine.There are no toys or other interests to the child, other than the precious fleeting time it is in the midst of.My other reason for painting this, is that the art world is full of beautiful maidens and the elegant, but these tragic individuals are almost entirely overlooked artistically, which is,to me, a true art crime.Sold to Fife,Scotland.
