Chris Gollon enjoyed painting on Indian Khadi paper for its texture and rigidity, and these works come from a rogues’ gallery of small heads painted a year before he died. ‘Trouble (II)’ is perhaps the same figure depicted in ‘Trouble (I)’, except that he is on holiday. As explored in the recent documentary, Chris Gollon’s work has a tragi-comic quality, giving us a non-judgemental look at humanity.
