About this work

A pale figure wearing a striped headdress and tunic sits astride the long body of a lion, one hand raised holding a dagger upright; the lion's rear is fused with a second, sideways-lying bearded human head with red hair, and one clawed forepaw fans out a hand of playing cards, all set against a rough dark-red ground.

Thin, smooth paint in ochre, flesh and rust tones covers the figures against a heavily textured maroon backdrop; graphic, flattened contours and deadpan expressions turn the impossible anatomy into a strange, unsettling narrative.
