Meaning & Analysis

As in the case of Samson’s Nostalgia Trap (2014) and The Unveiling (2014), Conor Harrington’s later screen prints, all human figures featured in When We Were Kings are gathered around a large wooden table that is given a central position among the abundant number of objects. A nude female figure is seen resting on the tabletop while a middle-aged man holds a mirror in front of her, vaguely reflecting the woman’s face. Wearing only a loose vest on the naked body, another woman sits on the chair on the right side of the table and observes the scene in front of her. What introduces an element of disruption is the dead animal body lying on the floor, parallel to the body of the blonde female figure at the centre of the print.

The overwhelming presence of silk textiles alongside the dead animal body that speaks of agony and mistreatment encapsulate Harrington’s acute examination of modern life, its power dynamics, and paradoxes. The artist commented in the context of questions that drive his art: "I'm interested in empire and cycles of power and how we're seeing a shift away from European dominance. I'm also interested in how today's culture is obsessed with consumerism so the dead animals in these paintings are a metaphor for waste and excess."
