A series of charcoal 'studio conversations' with the great painter Eugene Delacroix. The halos and use of light; colour and impasto of the paint, by Delacroix is swapped for the 21st Century glow from mobile phones and tablets. Both a contemporary twist and comment by the artist on the Mediterranean migrant crisis and imagery of migrants holding up phones to get a signal. There are three framed versions in this series so far, one sold. Previously exhibited with the Naivety Drawings. This is an unframed drawing not previously exhibited.
This is a small studio study/transcription/interpretation of Delacroix's 'The Barque of Dante' crossing the River Styxs 1822 - currently in the Louvre Paris.
