Gregory Gillespie

Painter and the Mannequins
1983

A painting depicting a surreal scene with a collection of heads and busts on a shelf, including a colorful tribal mask. A figure in the background appears to be working on a sculpture, while another figure is partially visible in the foreground, leaning against the frame of the scene. The overall tone is muted with an emphasis on earthy colors.
