RICHARD MARY PAINTING

My painting celebrating the genius of Rik Mayall and how much me meant to me as a child. This pop art satire painting of Richie from the iconic Bottom episode ‘Holy.’ Inspired by Richie’s proclamation, ‘My name is now Richard Mary… do everything I say, or you’ll all go to Hell!’

This artwork takes the satire a step further, I fused Bottoms humour with the grandeur of religious iconography pulled from paintings of the Virgin Mary. Featuring a liquid gold halo and the Immaculate Heart of Mary—with Eddie’s Christmas hat adding a cheeky twist to the flames—a homage to Bottom, Rik Mayall’s, and how he shaped me and my fiends.”
