-State of Grief- subtitled: Opportunistic Pathologization


-State of Grief-subtitled: Opportunistic Pathologization_a study on canvas of the State and bushfire victims.
acrylic on canvas abstract
by Sian Tiksom
from my monochrome series.
In this painting, the vast murky area between the separated white edges represents the ruthless opportunism of The State and health systems in pretending to care about people by defining them "at risk" in order to stream them into health systems where they are then subject to harmful, useless treatments such as ECT and psychotropic drugs. - In effect, harmed for profit.
-Minimize State powers and dont interfere with people, I,and many artists and people who respect human rights suggest.

painting content and subjects

There is no technology interface in my paintings.
I have a digital camera but I never refer to images or paint from images, or computer edit paintings. I never copy others art or present other's art under my name.
There is rococo elements in my current series. Some figurative, impressionist and abstracts.
As my original paintings are therefore quite expensive only serious collectors should consider purchase.
Prices start from $10,000. USD. Purchase subject to contractual terms.*Values can go up or down over time. Collecting paintings should not be viewed as a financial investment.
scroll down or see label list for purchase contract copy.
