This painting is inspired by Antony Di Nardo's poem of the same title. Taken from his book "Soul on Standby"
Portrait of a Soul
on Standby
As I sat down to drink a cup of
oolong tea on a couch by Vermeer
and considered the consequences
related to losing a lifetime of unlimited
access to a God created in the
image of a Plasticine clock
I was flattened
and left to distinguish the
two-dimensional from the mirror
Lucian Freud looked into when he
said, what could be more surreal than a
nose
between
two eyes?
