Description
Oil on canvas 30"x40"
A person of influence is hearing provocative information. She believes this information is being delivered to her by organic, inherently trustworthy messengers, God or the Universe. She doesn’t question it. It provokes an emotional reaction.
But we can see what she can't see. There’s a man in the back room with an empty cage on his lap. The birds belong to him.
The painting is about being emotionally manipulated by 'news' and other information.
