In his paintings Andy Dixon plays with value in the art market through subject matter and colour. Dixon fills his paintings with signifiers of wealth, both borrowing content from Renaissance art and Flemish still lifes and from contemporary objects of wealth (Versace jackets, the famous Jeff Koons tote bag, etc). While this work does not rely on wealthy objects, the ties to art history are clear. The woman sits in a regal position next to a swan, an animal known for its elegance. There is however an undertone of Dixon’s mockery- the clown makeup on the woman, the added frame and the vivid pastel palette matched with rough line treatment.
