The theme is “glamour” and how illusions of great opulence can be made against very prosaic backgrounds. In this the work-a-day environment of the painter's studio is the background in which he is creating an image of luxury. This springs from my experience of working in film studios. This also involves a simple self-reference – i.e. an image of the main subject is included in the total sculpture.
