'In The Land of The Blind The One Eyed Man Is King'

By Ricky Romain 2024

Dimensions
159cm x 140cm

'In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king'. Series no 4 oil and Indian Ink on gesso canvas 159cm x 140cm. 2024 This is a theme I have returned to many times in my painting discipline. I find this theme/aphorism quite provocative and oddly ly inspiring. This painting was created with the direct support of Axisweb Bursary.
