Orgasmatron - Oil on Canvas Painting - A symbolic 1987 oil painting on canvas by the artist M. McMahon. The work is executed in oil on a stretched canvas support. It is housed in a simple black wooden frame featuring a narrow gold-toned inner lip along the interior edge. The composition utilizes a flat black background to create a high-contrast field for the central figures. The scene depicts a rear-facing nude female figure with arms outstretched toward a white dove in flight. Two large, weathered hands reach down from the top edge, surrounded by a celestial field of radiating, multi-pointed stars. The artist has used textured impasto to define the stars and fine brushwork for the figure's hair. The painting is signed in white paint in the lower right corner ”M. McMAHON” above the date ”87”. No further maker marks or gallery labels are visible on the front of the work. 53cm wide 79cm tall
