This painting was from a series of eight Stud Muffins, a Gollonesque take on ancestral portraits. Chris Gollon painted a series of debauched uncles, starting in the clothes of the 1920s and moving through the decades as clothes changed, each one shown lost in a landscape as if having partied all night. This one perhaps is the uncle from the 1970s. They were shown once in London all together , where they seemed like generations of a single family, as if belonging in a stately home somewhere. Most ancestral portraits being pretty boring, Gollon's depart from convention and show us the most colourful scions from an imaginary family tree.
