Despite its light-hearted outward appearance, the collection had consisted largely of humorous expositions of the falsity and pretences that she observed in the relationships between people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">As the artist stated, \u201cI love people-watching\u2026 either on the bus, or anywhere really\u201d, and it is this acute sense of observation which makes her paintings so relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">In <em>The Husband<\/em> the viewer is placed in the middle of an awkward formal gathering. The presence of three ladies at the centre of which we find one seemingly loud robust woman in a blue dress clasping on to her cake faced husband\u2019s hand makes us wonder at the absurdity of the situation. The two women framing her are almost turning their noses up at what she is saying, whilst the men seem to be utterly flabbergasted. The women are oblivious to the husband\u2019s situation, focused almost with sheer contempt at what the central woman is saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">One can almost compare the moral judgement given in Peter Bruegel the Elder\u2019s \u2018The Peasant Wedding\u2019 and look at this painting as a modern day take on the notion that the festivities have deteriorated into self-indulgence. The phrase \u2018you can\u2019t have your cake and eat it too\u2019 comes to mind implying that these people should not attempt to have more than is reasonable by trying to keep up appearances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">\n\t#foogallery-gallery-50940 .fg-image {\n        width: 300px;\n    }\n<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Husband Debbie Caruana Dingli Watercolour and charcoal. 2000.
