I’ve just completed a new artwork titled ‘Pageantry’. You can now purchase it through Peggy or SaatchiArt.
The artwork is a vividly colored painting presenting a regal scene. The focal point is a figure, Brian Kenny, Mr. Baloga’s muse and fiancé, seated on an ornate throne with a high back that branches out into stylized, lightning-like forms at the top. The character on the throne wears a theatrical outfit reminiscent of Michael Jackson or a historical royal attire, with yellow and white stripes and bold red pants. Above the figure, a golden arch showcases luxurious decoration, including a crown symbol at the apex, flourishes, and a coat of arms or emblem featuring a ‘BK’ logo beneath the crown.
On either side of the archway, there are banners with the letters ‘BK’ and ornamental patterns. To the left of the throne, a red banner bears the name “Brian Kenny,” while the corresponding position on the right displays the letters ‘BK.’ The throne itself is adorned with golden embellishments, intricate designs, and striking red upholstery. Steps leading up to the throne have a checkerboard pattern, implying a grand entrance. The setting extends a sensation of opulence, grandeur, and perhaps a touch of satire, drawing upon elements of royalty and pageantry.
It’s made from acrylic, pen and ink, and gold liquid leaf paint.
