The Afternoon of the Faun by Graeme Hindmarsh
Digital composite, 2007.
From the Running Man series.
© Graeme Hindmarsh 2007.
Other works from this series can be found here.
This work explores the artist’s relationship with the art industry and the role of autobiography in art.
The scene is a gallery. In the centre the artist sits, head in hands, in front of a large and elaborate work. A small dog, a metaphor for his audience, sits beside him, enthralled. On the right, a suited man carrying a briefcase, representing the corporate patron, exits the scene.
This was intended as a digital study for a painting – it may still happen! A detail of the work can be viewed here.

Fantastic Graeme. Intriguing and fffun
Thanks Robert! This one used to have a lot of comments but I re-uploaed it and lost them all! Never mind, glad you like it.
Love this image. Reminds me of one which inspired me many years ago when I was doing film, as opposed to digital photography. – Off to look at the rest of your work now……
Thanks GraemesDesigns for taking the time to look at my work! This is part of an on-going series. There are others but, I’d like to finish a few paintings before uploading more.

Arresting work..!!….Just wonderful.!…A special mention to the little dog, who completes the image so perfectly (can’t keep my eyes off him :))
Thanks so much Meg – your comments are much appreciated. It’s amazing how such a physically small element of the work commands so much presence! Thanks again.
