No longer was he singing in the service of anyone, nor was she standing there as a maid. On that beach they found each other and shared a gaze, now free and without masters.
I have always thought there was a beautiful, subtle tension between the butler and maid in Jack Vettriano's 'The Singing Butler', so I wanted to reimagine that scene. Perhaps some of Vettriano's other work borders on erotic art but I absolutely love the composition of his paintings, strong and gridded, whilst broken by the sultry characters.
