About the artwork
The fuzzy picture of a swaying crystal chandelier, accompanied by the suggestive music of Prokofiev and a woman’s voice with an unidentifiable foreign accent: “This is a dry story with a lot of vodka”. The atmosphere is redolent of postwar film noir. But Irvine’s work mixes shoddy glamour with kitchen sink realism in a story about the odd couple who – almost – meet in a bar.
