Story Behind the Painting
With a thrown back head and dishevelled hair, this picture symbolises ‘Desire’. While the model’s closed eyes, sweeping lashes and full lips all suggest passion and self-abandonment. However, there are warnings all around this image. The heavy black lines don’t offer any relief, and the black background is lurking at the edges of the picture, ready to engulf her while the multiple swirling birds suggest a sinister edge.
Bradley uses these dark images and especially the dark birds to symbolise his own anxiety and depression. ‘Desire’ takes on a darker meaning, beauty combined with abandonment can be a dangerous mix, shadows begin to overtake our sitter and with closed eyes she seems totally unaware of the danger around her.
