Abaddon’s Locusts

 

 

 

 

 

Pastel on canvas.                                   22 February, 2018

 

 

This is the 2nd drawing in a Women’s Series that I am currently doing for 2018.

The series is titled ‘Matriarchal Heroines’, typifying the heroines of the everyday world

in which we live in. The exhibition at the end of this year is to bring awareness of an

egoistic culture focused on selfies and materialism. This series is to bring to mind that we are all human no matter

what car you own or new plastics you have bought.

‘Abaddon’s Locusts’ is about a heroine who braved her own fears and came out victorious from

bullying, deceit, treachery and cruelty that lasted for a span of about 2 years.

I Wish Thee Well.

 

 

 

I Wish Thee Well.                                Pastel on canvas.  19th December 2017

First drawing in the series ‘ Everyday Matriarchal Heroines’. A series by Anna Boros for 2018.
This particular work, as is evident, a self portrait of the artist.

It is about the complex nature of the anxiety that can be caused through a child that has grown up and is now leaving home. Many mothers do actually feel the angst of saying goodbye to their beautiful grown up ‘babies’. In this particular case, the artist experienced deeper complex issues having lost 2 daughters previously. One to cot death, and the other without explanation.

SELF PORTRAIT EXORCISM

 

 

 

Pastel on canvas. Very large canvas approx. 1 metre x 1 metre.

This is another conceptual piece regarding the constant self evolution we go through,

using props and masks for a guise while we metamorphosise into a changed and altered human being- forever evolving.

BLACKIE THROUGH SHROUD

 

 

 

pastel on canvas, 2009

Where do animal spirits go when they die?
A question we all often answer, even if it’s the truth of a fact, or a hope, or an experience.

Here is ‘Theodore’s Cafe’… and just across the road is  ‘Across The Road From Theo’s’.

That one is a painting. This one, titled ‘ Theodore’s Cafe’, is a pastel drawing.

It was bought by the proprietor at the time, Theo.

LOSING FACE

 

 

 

Losing Face. Pastel on canvas. 16th April 2009

 

It was interesting to note that at the time of the US stock market crash, Tasmanian Devils in Australia

were being  devastated by a tumorous disease. Both species were suffering the decay of

something much bigger than themselves.
