Techniques used in production

Painting : Oil on canvas (incorporating inkjet on gampi tissue) The photo of the soldier was scanned by the artist and output trough an inkjet printer onto Japanese gampi tissue. The gampi was then laid down onto a layer of wet resin on the surface of the painting and covered so that it was sealed in the resin. The image of the wrestling firgures was drawn with a brush on top of thick layers of white lead and made to resemble marble, except for the heads; the heads in the statue were spuriously restored and O'Donoghue took the opportunity of replacing them in the painting with intimations of flesh and blood
