Last of the Seducer

“De Freston presents us with an image that is a pared down version of Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa. The central figure maintains a mournful – albeit strangely stoical – look as he nurses a corpse clad in red socks…With whom or what is he fixated? Perhaps it is someone stranded in the receding distance whom he drifts away from; someone who has no reason to feel stoical as well as mournful, as he does, not have the possibility of survival to entertain”
