Image description

This painting developed from an earlier performance artwork made by Bruce McLean in collaboration with artist David Ward, which was staged at the Tate Gallery, London. The performance represented the artist's angry view of 1980's government, and formed part of his commentary on social issues. The painting draws on elements of aggressive energy and rapid movement within the performance. These are represented by the scrawled marks exposing the photographic paper, which resists rather than absorbs the paint.
