Fred - This painting of an atmospheric scientist from colonial Yorktown plays on the hand painted quality of the portrait and
the mechanical process of the printed silkscreen background. The artist Carol Buddell has created a space with the oil pastel
drawn shirt and at the same time breaks down this space by having the repeated flat printed figures march across. This work
is at once traditional in its painterly rendition of the subject and modern in the flat representation of the marching figures. This
play between the styles and space is typical in the 1920's art period magic realism. The outline of the figures which are
silkscreened across the portrait are naive in style reminiscent of childhood history or colouring books.
James - This portrait depicts James, British tennis writer, sitting on a flat white couch with a print of Federer vs. Federer
repeated in the background. The traditional painting of this portrait is contrasted here with the flat space of the screenprinted
background, solid white couch and the black stencil graffiti dog which is typical of magic realism.
The Queen - This portrait of the Queen uses few lines or marks to create a likeness while remaining instantly recognisable.
The raw linen canvas remains visible and a feature in this work.
