The refore one .a;hould approach and recognise this 'Comment' as merely one small colelction of thoughts on a con- tinuingly complex: problem. _ With th!s said , as the 20th year of the Troubles approach it would seem approp­ nate to bnefl y ask why the murder continues.with such vicious regularity. Certainly in terms or death and injury there has been a levelling-out process in statistical terms, but in human terms the Provice and its collection of tight-knit communities still undergo the stark horror or murder and cold sombemess of burial o n a virtuall y weekly basis. However, despite claims that both communities have had enough after atrocities such as L.t Mon, Kingsmills or Enniskillen the Troubles dyanmism seems unaffected. Why is this? First and foremost it should be recognised that the consistently most murderous terrorist group, the Provisional IRA, is not merely an isolated collection of heart­ less psychopaths. They are highly dedica~d and motivated people who enjoy the support of about 8% of the electorate, a reservoir.of support which tends to be con­ centrated in certain areas.

Phil Collins - the man, the myth, the rock star who would be an actor. As the Film "Buster" opens across Scotland, star­ ring Collins in the title role, the prospect of a musician trying to act chills the heart of many. With such "im­ pressive" perfor­ mances in the past as those of Sting, David Bowie and Roger Dal­ trey, it's hard not to be sceptical. "Buster", however, is the excep­ tion, featuring, as it does, a performance by a rock star who has met with widespread critical acclaim. Craig McLean met with our Phil in the wake of the controversy surround­ ing the film Photos by Victor Stekly.

TANITA TIKARAM Queen's Hall

IT WAS a bad omen when \9e noticed that seats had been put up in the Queen's Hall's normally open area. Obvi­ ously the management didn't expect anyone to get too excited. From 1he outset, yo ung Tanita look_£d ~vcrwhc\mcd by it all. Nervously pushing back her hair and mumbling thank-yous, it soon became clear that that quirky. sliding dance on the video fo r Good Tradition isn't a dance a l all . but Tanita shuffling her feet. Thankfully though, the crowd were supportive and appreciative from the opening num ber. and ifs easy to see and hear why. Tanita cuts an unremarkable figure, yet it's her very innocuousness, coupled with her beautifully rich voice, that makes her so appealing - a shy young woman with an immense talent that her slender shoulders are not qui1e able to bear.

As a result the songs that come across best are si mpler ones where her voice is complemented by vio­ lin and soft-strumrhed guitar. Twist In My Sobriety haunts the mind , Leonard Cohen's Ain't No Cure For Love moves the heart, Cathedral Song caresses the senses. Songs such as these allow Tanita's voice the full scope it needs and deserves, and come across bri lliantly. Elsewhere though , a heavy­ handed drummer and axe-hero guitarist complicate the sound , suffocating the all-important voice. And Tanita just doesn't have the s1age presence to com­ pensate for this. Which is a shame as this stopped a pleasant evening from being a memorable evening. Craig McLean

LUCIAN FREUD: PAINTINGS 1947-87 . SIX PA INTINGS BY FRANCIS BACON Gallery of Modern Art Until Oct 16 · FOR THE next two weeks the Gallery of Modern Art exhibits work by two contemporary British painters, and friends, Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. Both artists execute work that can be at once disturbing yet contemplative, in completely different manners. Freud is figurative , his portraits and nudes are executed with regard to ·linear qualities and aitatomical detail. Yet all subjects are' constructed solely from a mosaic of colour and brush stabs, detail is only an allusion. Spanning 40 years of work, Freud's progressive technique and confidence in his medium is most apparent , from the smooth modelled features of ··Girl in Dark Jacket" (1947) to the impasto explosion of '.' Bella and Esther" (1987·88), a painting of his daughters only finished m June of !his year and never before exhibited. It is not only Freud's manner of execution that changes in this time span. His sitters become more introverted, their eyes fixed. but not focused, upon some unknown point outside the picture frame. Their thoughts are contemplative, perhaps even rcOective, subconsciously aware. But of what? Freud does not provide answers, or ev..eo directly ask ques_tions. he simply records the person , the body, and the stillness that encompasses it all. Bacon's work cannot be described as stil l. His figural work , an amalgamation of the figurative and abstraction, is caught up in a turmoil of angst and disturbance. His sitters are given only the morphological essence of features, physiognomy of the individual is scarred by rough strokes and twists of colour, offering primeval and florri6c structures. Movement and emotion is emphasised by a rudimentary breakdown of anatomical curves and sparing use of colour. This is heightened further by the horrific inclusion of disjointed backbones and 1eeth. The figures , as in "Three Figures and Portrait'' (1975), become gradually transfigured into birds and indistinguishable creatures Assessing the human body with a carcass of meat is a subject not uncommon to either painter. The bodies of Freu~s naked women, whose minds arc inwardly occupied, allure yet repel the viewer. Their curves snaking around the picture surface are the only motion to the otherwise bedded meat. Whilst Freud's figures remain in a subconscious state, renccting upon passive thoughts, Bacon's figures and people are definitely conscious. In these six diverse paintings the infernal agony that they seemingly participate in and emit, stems from products of life and the contemplation of death. Possible narration to both artists' work is only evoked but never stated. To see is to understand. AlrSOnBrown
