Coronavirus – Still Life
Original title: Coronavirus – nature morte
On the chessboard of the world a crowned white ape holds the pipette, and the humans are blindfolded.
Painted in 2020. A naked man and woman, eyes bandaged, sit among glass chessmen, split pomegranates and a bottle of cognac. Above them the ape, in lab coat and surgical gloves, measures out something green, while molecules and neurons hang in the dark. A still life, then, in the strict sense: the living are the pieces being moved.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
