Pandemonium (a.k.a. Pandoras Box) 2007
I aimed for pandemonium to evoke different feelings and emotions for each viewer depending on their mood. The intention was that it would be a collection of suggestive images melted together mainly influenced by flower and glass texture (especially Dale Chihuly). I went to Kew Gardens and took blurred and close up images of the sights on offer and then put them together, I then added some ideas that have been floating around inside me to complete the piece.

95% completed- bees will be added to the hive and the torso will be darkened. I will upload the final version in the near future.

I just came across this on the new deviations page! Its you again! Hello! Interesting painting Dan, the more I stare at it, the more I notice. It's certainly well-titled! I dont know if you're into symbology or not, but theres a bit I noticed in here ; the centre of the piece is the bees & honeycomb. Bees have a huge symbolic history - mainly symbolising the divine feminine - they are matriarchal, communal alchemists! Morphing out of this is a hermaphroditic figure (one becoming two opposites) from which are streaming I dunno - reality tunnels?! ( Lots of organic forms below, snails, musical notes, birds, loads of weirdness. Im not as hot as I should be on my sacred geometry so I cant tell you about the sphere, and above all this, you've got a kind of trashy, casino-esque thing going on, which adds to the trippyness of the piece! And I love the way you're peering 'behind the veil' at the bottom with this fixated eye! Cool and fucked up; I like it ! Look forward to seeing the final version :D

cheers yeah it is more sexual than my other work. im gradually getting into the idea of incorporating humans into my work and ive had those strippers in my head for a while and thought theyd suit this piece.
