GILLIAN GAMBOLD British, b. 1958
Oil and oil stick applied over initial graphite sketch on canvas. Framed in bespoke wood frame.
This work explores the idea of the Siren, a symbol used to depict women as 'dangerous' throughout Christian art, particularly during the medieval era. It is still used to describe women who present as beautiful whilst simultaneously suggesting menace. As such the Siren can be viewed as a woman at her most powerful. The watery washes and varying blue hues recall the many colours of the ocean. The siren's pink fingers rouch out from the gradually dissolving form.
