The Guitarist and Violinist by Ta Thimkaeo

Oil on canvas, 100cm x 130cm
 
Ta's collection of conspirators is full of mischief and secrecy. Each character is always up to something naughty or scheming a dodgy deal, "I want a desperado feel to it, moody as if they have something to hide, I want them anxious, so you get those staring menacing eyes".
