Oil painting
Crown of the World Hierarchy
Original title: Couronne d’hiérarchie mondiale
A sovereign laughing, with a galaxy for a hat.
The old face, creased with amusement, comes out of the dark. The brim of the blue hat trails off into a nebula that ends in a red four-pointed star; orbits trace their rings in the corner. The crown is no longer on the head. It is up in the sky, as part of the order of things.

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.
