Private collection. This painting was produced by Chris Gollon while he was a Fellow and First Artist in Residence at the Institute of Advanced Study, University of Durham (Jan - Mar 2009). It forms part of the exhibition 'Being Human', which is accompanied by a full colour catalogue, with texts by the other Fellows and by art historian Tamsin Pickeral.
"A central painting in the sequence is Gods, which Chris interestingly chose to depict as Pan, that is, a ‘generic’ god, a god of anything and anywhere, with no face or personality, that curiously shares the same incompleteness of the needy creatures of the other pictures." Extract from catalogue text by Ulisses Barres de Almeida, University of Durham.
