Homepage Women and Family Kings and Rulers 
●
First exhibited at the St. James Cavalier, Centre for Creativity,
Valletta, Malta. These paintings were done over a period of about six years.
There are several threads of subject matter. Many of the paintings portray kings
in a gesture of humility, divesting themselves of the crowns, which symbolize the ego.
Other paintings show kings and queens working together in unity, aloof from their crowns
('Consultation 1 and 2').In one painting (‘Kings in the Field’) potential rulers stand around a
golden crown in a field,
but none will agree to take it for himself. Other paintings relate kingship to
divinity in recognition that a higher and more powerful order supercedes temporal kingship (‘Queen Victoria’,
‘Gift to a Queen’, ‘Gift to a King’, Needle’s Eye’). Others point out the burdensomeness of kingship, and others
show kings and queens, alone by themselves, living their daily lives. |
