"I was introduced to the Baroque the Streets project by Remi. He pointed out the Rembrandt 'Girl at a window' at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. It was perfect for me with my history of painting characters and portraits. I really like the simple composition and colour palette. I wanted to give the girl an update and have her be a graffiti artist looking out of the window onto a freshly painted wall. The white dress would become a hoodie. I love hoodies and with the negative press they get lately it was important for me to have her wear it. I hope it works as a subtle positive reinforcement rather than it be seen as a simple stereotype. The design on the cap is the logo of our art collective the Agents Of Change.
It was a perfect opportunity to do a collaboration too, Remi Rough's work would be the painting that the girl was looking out onto. It fitted perfectly with the geometry of the 'Triumph Of David' sketch. The dark shadow on the wall that splits the Rembrandt in two down the centre, could be placed onto right of the Triumph which is divided by the three columns. It was a great chance to work on a two piece remix." - System
