The offer of a cup of tea and a look at his new paintings was too good to miss. Eric Mates was in on what was commonly termed a ‘lump’ - a really big sentence. Convicted of murdering his wife, his children and his wife’s alleged lover, he was not getting out at any time. He had speny fourteen years on the ‘Nutcracker Suite’ - C wing, where the psychiatric cases were - and was noted for the number of ‘tear ups’ he’d had with cons and screws alike. Then he had discovered painting, and that was hi...s salvation.He painted stark pictures of the world as he saw it. He painted the children of Bosnia, dying, bedecked in flowers. ‘The beauty among the evil’ was what he called it.His paintings were raffled for charity and he was now getting himself a name in the art world. He was respected by all, an unassuming man who made people forget within five minutes of talking to him exactly what he was banged up for. His days of tearing people to pieces, either physically or verbally, were long gone.So the offer of a cup of tea and a look at his latest masterpieces was too good to miss.MoreLess
