Inspired by the unsettling experience of witnessing ignorance and indifference in the world around us, Eyes Wide Shut explores the idea of choosing not to see what is happening right in front of us.
At the heart of this atmospheric composition is a striking yellow face with tightly closed eyes, from which vivid diagonal streaks of purple, blue, pink and white radiate outwards. The contrasting colours create a sense of movement, tension and emotional intensity, while the firmly shut eyes become a powerful visual metaphor for denial, wilful blindness and the refusal to acknowledge reality.
Bold, expressive and thought-provoking, this original work invites the viewer to look beyond its vibrant surface and reflect on what we sometimes choose not to see.
