Oil on canvas 91 x 62cm
This painting is based on a small plastic toy which has a solar panel. When the sunlight hits him he dances from side to side so vigorously he sets up a clacking noise. He quietens down as the sun moves. I believe the toy was merchandising for a movie named 'Nightmare at Christmas'.
It reminds me of the Mexican 'day of the dead' dolls. Hence, with the plastic flowers and skull like head, I though the Dancing Man was a fun subject for still life.
