Born in Kirkcaldy in 1963, Moyna Flannigan studied at Edinburgh College of Art and went on to complete a Masters in Fine Art at Yale University School of Art, Connecticut.

She is known for her figurative paintings, which cast a critical and often humorous eye on the effects of power on personal, cultural and political identity. Although they have their roots in Flannigan’s keen observation of the world around her, her figures have increasingly developed a mythic quality. Their failings, incongruities or follies are our own, only more spectacular and more compelling.

This print is an example of Flannigan’s early work, made in the late 1980s. Although it lacks the figurative aspect of her most recent paintings, we can still recognise the development of her distinctive style.
