    Self Portrait Mocked by Birds

    Oil on Board, 69 x 60cm unframed

     

    This painting was completed just as lockdown regulations came into practice. It is loosely based on a small postcard reproduction from an engraving by Martin Schongaeur titled ‘Owl Mocked by Birds’ (Circa 1435-91). Ornithologists will know that this is a well known occurrence; small birds defend their nests and territory from the threat of preditors. Replacing the owl with a portrait of myself and then getting mocked for doing so within the pictorial narrative had a certain comic appeal.
    However, original intentions sometimes get subverted by the making of the work as it progresses over time. The responses of outside viewers can also be revealing. Some have subsequently observed that the birds seem very ‘chirpy’ and frolic rather than threaten. I don't see this as problematic as it is usually a good sign when an image has room to accommodate individual interpretations.

     

    With the benefit of hindsight I wonder whether this image has a foreboding prescience with regard to the current situation we find ourselves in. Our normal social interactions with other humans are regulated and seriously curtailed and we are left to commune with whatever we can see or do in our gardens!
