The Interruption by Craig Simpson

Craig was really inspired by fifteenth century paintings at the beginning of his journey creating a body of work for this exhibition. He was mainly drawn to different examples of ‘The Annunciation’ and combining these ideas with his own personal experiences. An idea based on the annoyance of being interrupted whilst in the middle of a task (especially painting) and in turn makes you lose concentration and feel irritated. However in this painting, the roles have been reversed. It’s the artist being interrupter instead of being interrupted himself.
