Two For One Paintings bogof
Two for One or BOGOF (Buy One Get One Free) is the consumerism of the Supermarket at its best.
The phrase is borrowed here to describe the at least two separate subjects within the work that have been split. Split, as if in a prism, or perhaps as a boss-eyed view through some vertical blinds….or even as a desperately poor reconstruction of the images that have accidentally been put through a shredder.
It is hoped that effect holds the viewer’s attention until they feel they have absorbed all the content and then maybe make a personal appointment to review and possibly review again.

The monument’s art collection shows Doug’s love of Art Deco architecture. This architecture is still found in most cities and towns and particularly at the seaside. Not always noticed and often neglected, it was once the epitome of brighter hope and confidence between the World Wars.
