Modern Man


Here's another painting I did while living in Melbourne for the past 8 years (more to come). This one I called Modern Man. Its meant to symbolise the loneliness of the modern worker - the 9 to 5'er. I must do a Modern Woman too but since I'm a guy I figured I'd start with the gender I know best. I imagined this guy to have spent his life working a 40 hour week for twenty years but getting no further than paying the rent - he's never had a holiday and has spent his life living on a strict diet of toast and baked beans! lol

He lost his hair after a tough year and used to have a hippy outlook - where is it now? :)
