“The painting is a compelling example of the possibilities of contemporary portraiture. While the sitter is outwardly recognisable, at the same time the portrait gives a very strong sense of a resourceful inner life and the sense of flux that characterizes selfhood. The artwork has been filtered and processed in a particularly inventive way. A very deliberate sense of perfected craft.”

“The personality of the subject really shines through. There is something about the gaunt, raw figure in the totally baroque setting, everything swirling in the same rhythm, which makes you feel that the artist knows the subject well. There is a strong but ironic connection between the whimsical style of the painting and the strong sense of mortality in the sitter. “

“A bravura painting, a compelling image with exceptional skills. It is a contemporary surrealist Australian self-portrait.”
