For the theme shadow/shade I wanted to explore the idea of ‘the shadow of war’ and the effect it has on people and animals.
I chose to have my face looking out of the painting so that the eyes could connect and deliver the message. In the background there are lots of confusing shapes and clashing colours. I wanted to have the skull hidden in the background so that it represented a feeling and the looming of death and destruction. It was there to show to the audience the effects of war but also to fit into the theme of shade and shadow. I think it gives a very powerful and raw emotion to the way it was positioned behind the face and applied in black making it stand out more against the colours.
