Artwork Details Image Size: 37 × 49 cm Framed Size: 66 × 73 cm Edition: Limited edition of 50 About the Work Billy Bazoo forms part of Paul Yates’ ongoing exploration of memory, identity, and storytelling through portraiture. The work presents one of a series of figures drawn from the artist’s personal mythology — portraits of real, imagined, and re-imagined characters encountered throughout his life. Blurring the boundaries between observation and invention, Yates creates a character that feels at once familiar and theatrical, intimate yet enigmatic. As with much of his work, Billy Bazoo invites viewers into a world shaped by recollection, fiction, and emotional truth, where personality becomes both performance and memory.
