| Drunken Demons, Chaz Howkins, 2015, acrylic and poster paint on board |
I wanted to further explore the concept of reverting my mind to a childlike state, so I created a larger (A1) paintings whilst drunk. The colours ended up quite muddy due to how I mixed them together with my hands. The figure appears demonic due to its simplicity and large, dark eyes. I scratched away some of the paint with my nails to create and sense of anger and violence in a childish way. I also scratched vague figures into the background which appear ghost-like and give the piece a greater sense of depth.
