KES 50 print available in my store. http://www.patrickmurphystudio.co.uk/product/billy-kes-print-kes-50 This print was created to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Barry Hines’s novel ‘A Kestrel for a Knave’ published in 1968 and the subsequent film ‘Kes’ directed by Ken Loach and released in 1969. The artwork is inspired by Billy’s passion for flying Kes (Billy’s name for the bird) it represents the moment of freedom for both of them when Billy swings his lure and Kes soars and swoops, a perfect metaphor for freedom and refuge from a life of neglect and abuse . These moments are described as being in a ‘pocket of silence’, the coloured circle represents being in their own world where no one could hurt them. #kes50 #kes #barryhines #kenloach #art #print #barnsley #north #yorkshire https://www.instagram.com/p/BvypWrNloEw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vwpodi0tztsu
