Artist's Comments
This is a painting I did of a man from South Africa. As I got to know him I discovered he was harboring a strong hatred. I could sense this in his eyes and felt it would come out in a painting. This painting is by no means intended to represent my feelings about a country. It is just one person I have encountered that happened to be very charged.

I don't love your art because i want you to love mine,
i love it because it deserves to be loved.
He does indeed look South African; not because of the intense stare but because of his facial features. But it's the intense stare which gives it a dramatic quality. The use of colours and broad brushstrokes remind me somewhat of Van Gogh's style.
Excellent work. Keep it up. It may not be accurate, but it certainly is provocative. And isn't that what art is all about...?
