Liminality - Untitled 09 (#LIMINAL_09)


About: These original paintings are his interpretation of the concept of liminal space as put forwards by the theorist Homi Bhabha. Within this theory he stated that when two dominant cultures collide there will always be a grey area or liminal space that exists in between, and it was his belief that it is within these areas that the greatest growth of cultural hybridity took place. These paintings not only depict the strong dominant separate spheres of influence but also contain spaces of ambiguity in which cultural hybridity is so prevalent.
