About the Item

Dimensions variable: medium oval 7.5cm x 9.5cm; large oval 9cm x 11cm. Derrick Guild is a Scottish artist whose paintings fragment Old Master works to explore the social fabric beneath. His arrangements of Lover’s Eyes take fragments from diverse and often unrelated sources – Lely’s ‘Windsor Beauties’ are intermingled, whilst other groups take elements from painters such as Alan Ramsay, Charles Howard Hodges and Henri-Pierre Danloux – mixing subjects, genders, and painterly styles to create new subjects connected by gold chains. Partly this suggests how painting as a language creates connections between seemingly disconnected people in different cultures and eras. The chains also reference David Hume’s ‘Bundle Theory’ of the self being an entity composed of a bundle of chain links, and Milton’s gold chain connecting Earth, Heaven and Hell. Derrick’s arrangements thus allude to how painting can act as a lingua franca, creating connections in a fragmented world and forging new relationships and identities.
