DRESSED TO KILL

Informed by late Baroque hunting paintings, that are characterised by both a casual violence and a sort of pageantry verging on the absurd. The impracticality of the hunting costumes - the knee high boots, the lace, and the garish colours seem at odds with their environment and the activity at hand.

There’s something curiously revealing in all the pomp on display. Either an age-old case of peacocking or a misbegotten expression of the feminine in a theatre of the masculine.
