Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
Researching painting your Artist discovered distressing aspects of Chaplin's early life. A drunken, abusive father. Who abandoned Chaplin, brother and mother. Mother forced into prostitution. Her contracting Syphilis (clients Gentlemen, not) and her subsequent mental deterioration. Chaplin and brother placed in forbidding orphanages. When he became a successful film-star he did not forget his early years. And looked after those who needed it. Including a most kind heart, supportive to his mother. A real Gentleman. These days, in contrast, many successful Artists (noticeable in this country and polity) come from very comfortable, and or hereditary, and or high-class backgrounds. This is common to their enablers, industries and helpers also. A sort of self-helping coterie. Though, of course, championing causes (press agency), virtue-signalling, and similarly profiting thereby, as slickly and purposely as any institution or corporation, etc.. Hence this artist's portrayal of rags to riches humble Chaplin. One of his early film shorts (30 mins.) called "A Dog's Life" reflected his biography. Dogs in those days and before were certainly not pampered pooches. They lived short lives outdoors, living on scraps, etc.. This painting based upon a black and white still from that short film. Way back when; black and white motion-picture film did not have resolution of today. Hence high contrast make-up etc.. No colour stills found. Colour of eyes is probably correct. But Chaplin's "tramp" wore bowler hats of various colours in various colour stills. Other colours in this painting are also surmised.

Lowborn, lacking Luxury Beliefs, but not inverted snob. Orphaned, outcast, male, straight, white, capitalist (a tiny fish in a very big pond), quite conservative in fiscal and social matters. In long term and friendly relationship. Purposely irrelevant prankster, yet pragmatic, singular, evolved, authentic, ironic, sardonic, sceptical. I realise some of these classifications could go against one. Definitely not intersected. Comparatively deprived early life, which has had life-long permanent effect. Not least in being grateful, for what I've got. And for any opportunities that I can both recognise and take. These themes within some of my works. Never faked a sarcasm too. Personally loyal to those who have tried or helped me. What else is a man of honour to do? Really enjoy painting, sometimes. In silence, without media lies etc., have noticed sound of my own breathing as I paint. Most expressive, rather than regular. Still learning after all these years. Still learning. Thank you for your interest.
