‘Man One’ is a feminist response to William de Kooning’s 1950 painting ‘Woman 1’. On a large vertical canvas, using industrial paint, I aimed to show that a woman painter could also create an erotic Abstract Expressionist painting. The numerous colourful sperm created by dripping paint down the canvas are both a metaphor for our over-populated world and also a visionary image of the power of male fertility.
