Narcisisstic Wine Bar Experience

Oils on 150X100cm canvas

​

Using the subject of Narcissus from the classical Caravaggio painting, I've placed him in a bar scene. He's contemplating the glass table top where he can see multiple images of himself. Is he happy, sad, a little tight, who knows. He is however isolated, on his own, whilst around him there are others, many in fact, take al look at the characters coming out of the drinks. The night is young and people getting louder, but I don't think our friend is going to last the course!
