« SHADOWS | COMMENTS DISABLED - BLOG CONTINUES » |
This collage reminds of another one that I have painted in 2004. The spirit is quite the same, but I see some evolution – if there were none it would mean that I am repeating myself and that would be a terrible statement.
So, 7 years after, what changed? The trick of changing the human head into an animal is identical. It’s the way the pieces are put together: in the painting, I have tried to smoothen the borders, in the 2011 collage, the torn pieces alternate with unbroken parts. This gives a different effect: bestiality and frailty, barbarism and doom. For sure that since 2007 things seem harder now and the hogs are getting fatter and fatter and many hopes are drowned. So I feel that my 2011 collage is less funny, less optimistic and much cruder. This won’t arrange my selling prospective, for sure. But my route goes in the direction of stronger expression, with the risk inherent to this choice.
