A stunning work, using a simple motif and a basic colour, Liza brings to life an amazingly powerful and empowering image that is sure to provoke comment wherever it is seen. Taking the familiar shape of a mermaid, traditionally white and fair, this work challenges every preconception of how a merman should look; it is in every respect a mirror to her female portrayals. The essentially athletic form is shown in detail by the skilful blending of colour and tone, the marine man's physique is strongly defined while the tail remains matt and taut. Is he diving, or turning? Falling or rising from the depths? His illuminated form glows with its own honeyed sensual energy giving a new perspective on beauty and grace.
