I've almost finished working on this painting of jocelyn wildenstein. I had a huge piece of polystyrene board that came from packaging (new fridge!) and I really wanted to paint on it as part of my work. So to relate a person to this material I typed the words 'plastic woman' into google and this lady came up almost everywhere. She is known as the 'cat woman'...mainly because she looks like a cat or rather a lion in this image. Having a huge amount of plastic surgery in her life has resulted in her face looking as it does, and this idea of being the most plastic woman relates fantastically to the plastic board in which I have painted her on..very unnatural and artificial.
