ROBERT O'RORKE (B.1945) Lift off signed and inscribed 'LIFT OFF ROBERT O'RORKE' (on the canvas overlap) oil on canvas 45 x 61 in. (114.3 x 155 cm.) We are grateful to the artist for the assistance in cataloguing this lot. 'I painted Lift Off in 1973 when space exploration was an exciting topic providing new images for the artist of rockets launching and dramatic views of the earth from the moon. But the astronaut is also linked to a dancing figure on the left who is also taking off with energy and movement, and I wanted the painting to combine these two ideas in an image of vitality and excitement.'
