This painting is an allegorical response to the loss of my wife who died in 2021, and was one of the first paintings completed after her death. It depicts the artist at once floored by the circumstance, but also standing and painting again. The title, 'Nepenthe' refers to the draught taken to forget sorrow, mentioned in Edgar Allan Poe's poem 'The Raven'.
