‘Porridge and salt’ recreates an uneventful scene where triviality is a staple diet.
A man sits in muted anticipation of his bowl of morning porridge. Now an older man, his vigour for protest and rebellion has evaporated; he is caught in the wheels of time, revolving, visiting the near same scene every day.
The spoon in the foreground is of a playful significance. In its reflection can be seen another face. This not only signifies the presence of another character at the table, but can also be used as a tool to invite the viewer further into the narrative: if they wish, the viewer themselves can play the role of the second person.

Rory Mitchell is a contemporary Norwegian painter. Although his working process relies heavily on a solid draughtsmanship, over the years this has been incorporated in a number of art disciplines, primarily oil painting and gouache painting. His intent is that the distorted lines and emotive colours lend themselves to the narratives he creates.
Today Mitchell works mostly with oil on canvas and creates figurative paintings with rich color palettes and Expressionist undertones.
Rory Mitchell was born in 1977, in Scotland, where he graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art.
