Resurrection & Execution; Mortality & Inspiration
198cm high x 102cm wide, Acrylic on Canvas.
Original work, studio quality reproduction and prints available.
Triptych in Three Acts, describing the journey the subject has taken to find his place in the world. Duncan Graham, one of Australia’s best regarded and contemporary playwrights.
The work moves from right to left, with different styles and colour pallets across the three panels, describing Duncan’s journey to get to the place of inspiration, but also the never ending journey that is being in that place.

Act 2: “Resurrection & Execution; Mortality & Inspiration”

Act 3: “Deus Ex Machina”
(Central Element, 182cm wide x 61cm high, Acrylic on Canvas)
On this planet, this ‘alternative’ place, the sun rises and sets at the same time. The blue winds never stop.
The flesh torn from our bones; we reside like Yorick’s in Hamlet’s palm.
An artist’s bare bones are like a suitcase that has travelled 20 times around the world. Battered and marked, having seen a million days, led a million lives, died a million deaths and witnessed a million colours.
It is at once exhausting and exhilarating; In our resurrection is our execution. In our mortality is our inspiration.
And in this ‘other’ place, in rare moments, truth and beauty become one.
The offspring of these strange and improbable bedfellows – is Art.
This work is Part 3 of the ‘We kill Ourselves Every Day for Art’ Triptych.
