Description Oil on canvas. 40' by 30'. March, 2011.In this painting I wanted to render an extreme first-person point of viewin which we see the dim zone around a persons actual visual field. The person in question is the Alan Turing character in my novel The Turing Chronicles. He has become a mutant known as a skugger, and he has the ability to stretch his limbs like the cartoon character Plastic Man. He is traveling across the West with two friends, a man and a woman. In this scene, Turings cohort is being attacked by secret police, one of whom bears a flame-thrower. Turing is responding by sticking his fingers into their heads, perhaps to kill them, or perhaps to convert them into skuggers as well. We can see Turings arms extending from the bottom edge of his visual field. Even though its not quite logical, I painted in his eyes as well because they make the comnposition better.
