Artwork Details:
Dimensions: 150 cm W x 150 cm H
Materials: Mixed media (Acrylic, Oil Paint, Spray Paint, Oil Pastels, Oil Sticks, Marker, Pencil, and Enamel Paint) on Canvas
Brief Description: It is rare for a Pigsy piece not to feature the artist himself, but in Mo Laoch (“My Hero”), the figure is James Joyce. Inspired by a documentary on Joyce, Pigsy saw a connection between the writer and his uncle, also named James, whom he never met but whose house he now owns. Could Joyce have been a role model for Pigsy, a fellow poet and artist? Joyce holds the red spelling book, Pigsy’s nemesis and a recurring motif in his work, symbolizing his struggle with dyslexia. Mo Laoch reflects admiration, absence, and the guidance that shapes us, imagined or real.
