The artist: "I owned a one-bedroom ground floor flat in Aberdeen in the 1990s. For a year or so, my brother Chris stayed with me one night a week, due to his job at the time. Chris loved playing cards and was really good at them. I enjoy them too, but not so good. On these nights, we played gruelling 2-hour games of ‘Contract Whist’ We a kept a running tally of the scores and a record of stats which we analysed a great length. Contract Whist generates a lot of numbers and whichever way we looked at them they told the same story; that Chris was the consistent percentage man, while I had the occasional flurry of highs and a plethora of lows. This painting places these game nights affectionately within the context of the imagined activities of adjacent unknown neighbours."

This work is priced framed. The work is framed in a white wood tray frame.
