THE INEVITABILITY OF CIRCUMSTANCE 1987 This masterpiece depicts a woman dressed in the attire of a dominatrix, an executioner or a queen and yet her posture and expression together express complete abandon. A powerful autocrat rendered powerless by circumstance and resigned to her fate. The picture asks the eternal philosophical question: does life have Divine order? Or is it just the inevitable permutations of circumstance? The picture was inspired by the death of a 3 year old child outside the Artist's studio window. The airborne dice formed the circle around the head by pure circumstance, giving the image a double irony. The Cosmic Joker laughs back. Elliott contrasts order with chaos and the apparent stillness of death versus the dynamic of life. Greatest of the Neo Goth masterpieces. .
