When I paint a portrait it always starts with a tidal wave of emotion that makes me feel so uncomfortable that I have to paint. The emotion that hits me hard when I think of Boris Johnson is anger. When I am creating a hyperrealistic portrait of Boris Johnson I am spending a huge amount of time adding every detail to the artwork, I can only spend such time and concentrate so hard if I feel that I really HAVE to create this work. I knew that I had to.
“Bo Jo The Clown” or as most people know him as Boris Johnson was the Prime Minister of The UK and in my eyes a perfect example of a Politician who puts his own desire for power and money at the expense of the people who voted for him.
Like so many Politicians he has made the rich even richer whilst making the poor so unbearably poor that they live in unspeakable poverty.
I hope that when you view this work you feel anger. Anger dominates this work.
