The Trial
Category: Paintings
Artist: Chris Gollon
Subject: Being Human
Year of Work: 2008
Media: acrylic on canvas
Size: 48" x 36"
Price: £4,800. SOLD. This painting is the first painting in the series entitled 'Early Thoughts' (see Exhibitions page for details). In preparation for his Fellowship & Residency at the Institute of Advanced Study in early 2009, Chris Gollon begins six months before to explore his own general idea and early thoughts on the Fellowship's theme: 'Being Human'. In this work Gollon puts Man on trial, his arms almost decaying into his hands, naked and alone. The three circles to the left form an ideogram of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost, who perhaps appear as witnesses, and the spectator then becomes judge and jury. The dock in which Man stands also seems to be like human flesh, broken in places.
