Brave New World

0.0 x 0.0

Oil on linnen canvas . 140x140 cm (55x55") Inspired by the painting 'Self-portrait with masks' by Ensor I wondered why and for what reason people sometimes hide or disguises themselves behind 'masks'.In 2012 I already made a few sketches but for some reason I put the idea on hold just until now it turned out the time was right . I wanted to reflect the evolution how nature, animals and we humans adapt and behave in situations on which we have no control and how we are connected with each other .Those who are familiar with my work know that the pinguin occasionally intrudes into my paintings .. it is my way of depicting a serious matter with a wink. The title is a reflection to the book I once read by Aldous Huxly. # realism #conceptual #modern #contemporary #figurative #nature #season #masks #covid19 #Corona virus #birds Tomtit Robin
