BORED: RENOIR REDUX
2024. Oil on canvas board. 16 x 20 inches (41 X 51 cm)
“This painting is a play on Renoir's 'Portrait of Alfred Sisley'. In that painting, artist Alfred Sisley poses for Renoir, sitting on a wooden chair frankly looking quite bored. I wanted to evoke that sense of boredom, though it wouldn't be complete right now without a phone in hand. The wooden chair was replaced with the white plastic chair that was ubiquitous from my childhood, brought out for everything from school assemblies to extra dinner guests.”
