The Freda Collection
Freda, the woman depicted, essentially as a portrait, is based on a character from the comic strip Terry and the Pirates.
Here she is portrayed as a formidable femme fatale as she lounges on a Zebra pattern sofa, exuding an air of confidence and nonchalance.
In this work, she also appears to be holding the complex mechanical apparatus with cogs and gears, that was originally represented (in the painting) as a stylised torpedo with its internal mechanism exposed.
Perhaps it actually shows a part of her, intricately intertwined with her femininity, exposed as in an X-ray or exploded view.
The original Freda made her first appearance in Doug’s work on an acrylic canvas painting called Torpedo Jacks v.2.
