About the Item
Acrylic on canvas, signed and dated '1973' on verso
Image size: 17 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches (44 x 29.5 cm)
Contemporary style frame
Exhibition label 'Royal Academy Exhibition 1973' on verso.
Kevin Burrows was born in 1947 in Hoylake, Cheshire. He studied at Southend School of Art, 1973-6, and at Winchester School of Art, 1976-9.
Here Burrows stands facing the mirror, with half of his face intriguingly being reflected back. Although an obvious reference to the historical use of mirrors by artists in the practice of self-portraiture, the drastic visual dissection of the Burrows hints at something more. With half his face reflected normally, part of Burrows remains hidden and the mirror's edge also presents in the middle of the canvas a distorted slither of the artist's head and body. These three versions of Burrows suggests a self-reflective phycological commentary with the work depicting a fractured compartmentalisation of self.
On the shelf below are a range of personal objects of the artist including a familiar self-portrait trope - a reproduction of one of his own artworks that he admires.

Die liebe Katze
By Starsky Brines
Located in New Orleans, LA
STARSKY BRINE’s paintings and drawings captivate audiences with their distinctive style and a recurring theme, the search for the nature of humanity. In his bold works, the artist focuses on characters that are built from a combination of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features, as well as the appropriation of elements from comics and toys from his childhood.
On the one hand, these characters distort reality to venture into an environment of subcultures and urbanism created by the spontaneous intuition of his strokes and the appropriation of the contemporary iconography. On the other hand, they move within the realm of fantasy. In particular, the animals paired with their human characters evoke associations with fairy tales or comics. They are reminiscent of the world of theatre, in which fantasy and poetry but also comedy often serve as catalysts for the creation of critical meaning.
With his works, Brines often questions the interplay of good and evil against the background of the worldwide socio-political climate. Yet Brines does not interpret his themes as ‘black and white.’ They are complex and nonlinear, with charming disruptions, quite serious and yet full of humor.
Brines is personally influenced by his mother and art historically influenced by Latin American figurative art, the German Neoexpressionism, the Italian Transavantgarde, and the COBRA group. His works oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Brines holds a degree in Fine Art from the Instituto Universitario de Estudios Superiores de Artes Plásticas Armando Reverón...
