VIEW IN MY ROOM
I am a contemporary artist whose recent work is thriving to create beautiful and intriguing imagery by inking carefully composed figures onto selected pages from known vintage books. As a result of this juxtaposition my compositions radiate a sense of mysterious interaction between a narrative structure of body language and their superimposed presence on the book pages. The intrigue is enhanced by the figures being turned away from the observer and towards the text. All work are signed and on good quality stretched canvas.

Cain creates beautiful and intriguing art imagery by painting carefully composed figures on vintage book pages. Any space between the figures exposes a background, which gives them context and narrative. Books only come alive when they are read. The passing of time and trends will shape a reader’s interpretation of a book. These are often reflected as annotations that a reader leaves behind. Instead of an annotation Cain interprets and paints a contemporary presence of the reader. Cain's art attempts to show compositions that radiate a sense of interaction between the narrative and the reader's image. The subjects are turned away from the observer, seemingly engaged in the narrative, which remains magically elusive. As time continues to pass, the contemporary presence of the reader will age along with the book. Interestingly, this ageing will be observed by future viewers of the painting. These works are hand painted in Indian ink onto pages from vintage editions of classic stories. The pages and subjects are carefully selected to bring relevance to Cain's work. The paintings are mounted on robust wooden stretchers and canvas ready to hang on delivery. Cain
