The Saint and the Sinners - Janet Clement
Description
Wooden Triptych - Unfarmed 1200mm x 800
ARTIST STATEMENT: An Orthodox Christain style triptych with a surreal twist. Fitting into the broader theme of 'The Dinner Table' I made this triptych with inspiration from Leonardo Da Vincis painting, The Last Supper. This triptych depicts the 'Saint' in the middle, eating politly with a cucumber halo around his head with two panels either side depicting the 'Sinners', eating with their hands, framed with a pomegrante background which has religious symbolism in itself. I wanted to mix the sense of the Holy with addiction and decay. The juxtaposing two sides of humanity reflected within this triptych. Themes taken from the idea of 'The Dinner Table' is apparent throughout with cutlery painted to look bloddy and the border of the triptych being a mosaic made of broken plates and crockery.
Janet created this piece aged 18 while a student at Sixth Form Centre.
