Bohemian Road

Oil on Canvas, Rochester, March 2003

68cm x 72cm

This symbolises one of the many ways to explore with art, fashion and design. In the countries of Europe, this has become part of our life, and we are following the style around us in order to express ourselves.

Half a green apple, or, viewed another way, the head of a cat, envelops the two squares. Again, as in Birth of Art, this is an invitation to join in the fashion and try out this new way of expressing ourself. Yet it also signifies a settling down, into the way of life we are living now.

The top part is black, representing the mysterious history around us. The white line is a division in our way of thinking, separating the fashion of the old and the young. As we age past 20, 30 or whatever, we strive to reach the taste of the artistic people.
