Motherhood: the corrective hand of parental guidance by Ron Maubidea is his second portrait in the neoclassical style of abstract automatism to be viewed publically. The series emphasizes a heightened attention to detail and lighting that are unmistakably in the tradition of his earliest work.
The symbolism in this recent commission (an open but firm hand), gently restricts the movement of a rebellious child who has turned a blind eye to the rational in a moment of tantrum. The maternal figure remains composed while seeking a resolution to the situation.
