Nothing to Get Excited About

Sometimes it is strange to observe a society that, against the backdrop of terrible developments in worldwide politics, continues to lead a seemingly normal life in which there is no cause for concern.

In this series I depict people who have come together, are talking or looking at something. Why and where they have gathered – I leave it to the viewer's imagination.

In these, at first glance, light-hearted paintings, the aim is to create a feeling between sleep and awakeness through effectively painted persons, who are illuminated by almost theatrical light.
