I decided to repaint this piece to start incorporating some of the things that I learned in recent studies. Eventually, I’m going to completely redo this painting with a different composition and so I chose keep that the same for this version. For some time now, I’ve wanted my paintings to look more visceral, gritty and traditional. And to start veering away from the over- saturation and smooth gradations which I think undermines the ‘look’ that I’m ultimately working towards.
