Keith Maiden | Materialism

This painting continues the theme of greed in today's society. The image is of a young man with long hair wearing a gold crown and smoking a £50 note. Behind him are images of skulls wearing crowns, which can be left open to interpretation. This one is about vanity, and rich mans pursuit of power, wealth and supremacy. My inspiration came from an illustration called 'All is Vanity' (1892) by an American illustrator called Charles Allan Gilbert.
