Keith Maiden | Materialism

The painting is about greed and consumerism in today's society. The words within the painting say it all: 'People were created to be loved, things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in such chaos, is because things are being loved and people are being used.' The shadow being cast by her arm is a marionette as used by puppeteers. She has a tattoo on her arm saying ‘die trying’ and arrows in her back to enforce the point.
