BoM III 2010, oil on canvas75 x 70 cm / 29.5 x 27.6 inches
From the "Beauty in Petrol" series, BoM III takes as its starting point a fashion photograph of a model posed as young business man.
A surface glance suggests a male riding high in a society that celebrates youth, beauty and style. But there's a sadness beneath the Photoshop-bought lifestyle; in the eyes that flirt and ask for approval – that can only experience happiness with the validation of our gaze.
The heaving, vigorously painted deformations take this unease further; tug it into ill twists. There's a link here to the ectoplasm of Victorian era séance photography; the suggestion that the youth's spirit has been over-powered; corrupted.

Konrad Wyrebek 'We Are Slaves To A World That Doesn Exist', oil painting 40 x 50 cm
" Our ambitions
are the same: what we aim for can quickly become somewhere else.
Paintings such as 'Young Slaves' and the sculpture 'Three Graces'
explore the possibility that the ideals we're aiming for can enslave
us. Our culture places high value on celebrity, fashion, youth and
beauty. Super-perfect images and messages – celebrating and
advertising these targets – are all around us, and our attempts to
attain at least some of that 'perfection', whether through shopping,
sex or body transformation, can trap us in work, debt and limited ways
of thinking."
