The saltire format and the colour scheme is suggestive of a flag or perhaps a standard and there are hints of heraldic devices. Formally, the faux naif handling of paint is suggestive of Basquiat or perhaps Dubuffet and art brut. In any case, it is defiantly anti-slick, or perhaps anti consumerist. It is a refreshingly populist work, like a kind of aesthetically charged graffiti-piquant piracy-shades of Nolan’s Ned Kelly series?
