Siblings

Title: Siblings

Format: Frame 65x55x3.5cm Plate 54x39cm

Technique: Acrylic on old painting plate

Production year: 2016

The artwork belongs to an abstract expressionistic tradition. I have used grey, black and white as well as gold. There is a person hidden in the painting, with traces of red, black and natural skin tones. 

The frame is white on the sides, the front is painted roughly with gold and comes out more light and less contrasted in the original. The original is a little lighter on the gold and the grey parts, creating a stronger contrast towards the black. The composition is inspired by the great abstract painter Deborah Carr.

The painting shows a man and a woman. The man is naked, standing in the forefront of the picture. He has a transparent sash or some kind of fabric in his hands. A woman is seated in the background of the living room. She has a dog in her lap. There are flowers in a vase and a view, or a painting, of a sunset. The artwork belongs to a modern expressionistic tradition. It carries on the heritage of pop art and surrealism. 

The paper/artwork can be cropped into a suitable size. It is a little uneven. 79-80 cm vertical and app. 124 cm horisontal. There are two pieces of paper creating texture on the paper. It could be mounted on a cardboard or some other kind of board before framed. There is also the possibility of pressing the paper flat and using particular metalclips or magnets for hanging it directly onto the wall.

You owe me a chicken

Title: You owe me a chicken

Format: 125x117cm (app.)

Technique: Acrylic on paper

Production year: 2015

The artwork is made with acrylic paint on white paper. It belongs to an expressionistic tradition. The painting shows two persons. One of them seems to be a queen or some sort of noblesse or otherwise a person of high statue on relation to the other person. She is sitting on her crown chair well dressed. The position of her legs shows a masculine pose or a power pose. Her face reflects focus and determination. The other person seems to be either bowing for her or allowed to be seated in her presence.

The painting is a bit lighter in the yellow parts, more towards white yellow. The photograph shows some of the clips I used when it was documented. The metal clips are not part of the artwork. The painting/paper can be cropped into a suitable size. The size is approximate, the paper is a little uneven.
