Gavin Bonnar Painting

What is The Answer?

The idea behind this painting is the feeling of being a pupil in a classroom and being literally chained to a desk.
The puppet like figure has his hand raised as if to answer a question, but he’s gagged and unable to speak.
He wears a dunces hat and a clown’s ruff and represents the voiceless in society that may have something to say but aren’t listened to.

The original was sold during a Chameleon Arts mixed exhibition, but prints are available to buy.
